I am simpling trying to get Hibernate to use the Oracle sequence IT_PROGRAM_SEQ to generate the key for the IT_PROGRAM table.

ITProgram.hbm.xml file
...
<class name="ITProgram" schema="charon" table="IT_PROGRAM">
<id column="PROGRAM_SEQ" name="programSeq" type="long">
<generator class="sequence">
<param name="sequence">IT_PROGRAM_SEQ</param>
</generator>
</id>
...

The strange thing is I am getting this error as soon as I try to access the JSF page linked to the IT_PROGRAM backing bean.

Can someone shine some light on this for me.
