I'm using Oracle, and I have sequences per entity that I have named. I'm using hibernate-annotations-3.1beta8.

The sequence I created in the database as such:

create sequence seq_parmid;

I'm guessing on how to use this named sequence, but this seems to be what I want to do:

@Entity
@SequenceGenerator(name="seq_parmid", sequenceName="seq_parmid")
public class ComponentParm implements Serializable {
/**
* Constructor for serialization.
*/
public ComponentParm() {
}

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator="seq_parmid")
public Long getParmid() {

...

I'm doing it wrong because this doesn't work for me. I get a null pointer exception when trying to save a record of this type, so I'm assuming the parmid is gotten and is returning null, etc.

What should I be doing instead?

Thanks in advance,
Scott

Few issues before: http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=958128

Search the forum next time, it is useful.

Thanks for the answer, but I have to say, this is the second time that I've gotten attitude for posting here. I did search before posting, and I didn't find the answer I was looking for. Being new to a product is a challenge; being slapped for asking a question is discouraging to say the least. Thanks for the help people, but I won't be back.

Did it help or not?

How did you search if you didn't find that issue?

And don't be a cry baby, for a simple instruction to search better.

calm down everybody, take a deep breath and do a kiss on the cheek :-)
