Is this possible? I need to access id generator declared in mapping from my code.
Thanks

You can take a look at the org.hibernate.id package. It should contain all that you need.

Don't forget to rate ;)

do you need some handle to the "generator" or are you interested in just getting the "ID" that is assigned to the record?

if the first, then perhaps something off of
"configuration" object when you create the SessionFactory.

The second would be had, but simply issuing the session.save(object) - the ID is assigned at this point, and the actual insert is not given to the DB until the flush() or commit() - so you can see the ID prior to insert.

I needed to get a handle on a generator but we solved it buy inheriting a hibernates generator. We performed save operation manually so we needed to set id's to object somehow.
