Hi there,

I've go one problem - I'd like to be able to use both 'worlds' of setting IDs of my POJO classess. I would like to have it automatically generated BUT if I will save class with ID already set - I'd like that predefined ID to be used...

Is it possible? What's the easiest way to do this on MySQL?

---------------- reason for such need ---------------

I have application generating data in database. Thera are classes like SomeObjectStatusType containing "constants" used by SomeObject. Through application IDs of those constants are set as final static properties of AppConstants class.

yes, it is possible. Simply assign the necessary ID and then call session.save( theObject );
