Hi,

I have an interesting primary key requirement. One of our entities needs some special functionality which I'm a uncertain how to accomplish with hibernate.

The primary key of the table is a standard sequence like any other entity. Where it is different is that I need to step in after pk generation, encode the sequence into a fixed length string, and then set it on another column/property.

Can some one point me in the right direction? Is there some delegate or lifecycle API that can help me with this sort of problem?

Thanks in advance.

Apparently, this was too easy a problem to get a reply. For any that are interested I had my POJO implement the Lifecycle class and set the value in onSave(). Works really well.
