I've got a PreInsertEventListener that in some cases 'vetos' the insert by returning true. This seems to work fine when my entity's id is mapped to a sequence, but when the id is mapped to an identity column, I get the following exception.
Code:

This seems to be happening when hibernate tries to use the id that would have been pulled out of the inserted row, but can't because the row was never inserted.
The same listener seems to work as expected when the id is mapped to a sequence, but that is not an option for our production environment.
Is this a hibernate bug, an unsupported configuration, or am I misunderstanding something?
In researching this issue, I stumbled accross the Lifecycle interface and will give that a try as well.
thanks in advance,
