I need to support different DB products, some of which support identity columns, while others don't. I would like to configure the id columns to use identity generatior if the DB supports it, otherwise use sequence. Is there any other way better than doing build-time token replacement on the mapping files?

On top of that, if I were to migrate to annotation-based mapping with Hibernate 3, is there any way to achieve the same thing?

Thanks.

does "native" not work for you ?

regarding porting then we have the framework in hibernate tools to handle this, but it is still in progress.

Volunteers wanted! ,)

Yes, it does. And evidently it was a RTFM question. 8-)
