Hi guys..
i am very very new to hibernate... I've installed the Events & Person example in hibernate.zip. I am following all the instruction as available in the docs...
When i run the example, it shows all kind of information on the console, making it obvious that it has located oracle drivers and table mentioned in *.hbm.xml and also shows CRUD sql syntax but in the end it throws the following exception:

DEBUG JDBCExceptionReporter:63 - could not get next sequence value [select .hibernate_sequence.nextval from dual]
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00936: missing expression

What i am missing here...plz tell
following is what i am using....
IDE: Eclipse 3.1.1 Ide
Database: Oracle 9i
hibernate: hibernate 3.1.3
JDK: 1.5
Driver: ojdbc14.jar (Oracle 10g driver <oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver>)
dialect: <org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect>
Aashu

If one wants to use database generated id(using sequnce), and not want hibernate to generate the id, then us the following:

<generator class="native">
<param name="sequence">name_of_sequence</param>
</generator>


where name_of_sequence refers to the database sequence....try it.
