Hibernate version: 3.2.6

MySQL: 5.0.4

I was under the impression that the enhanced TableGenerator would behave like the older MultipleHiLoPerTableGenerator in that a new row would be inserted in the "hibernate_sequences" for each and every entity. I am seeing a different behavior in that there is one and only one "default" row.

I should state that my entities extend a BaseEntity and that the id column is defined within. i.e.

Another way of asking this question is why does the new enhanced TableGenerator use a different approach for building the query, update, and insert statements than the MultipleHiLoPerTableGenerator class in which it is based (albeit loosely). In particular, the where clause differs ...

enhanced TableGenerator uses a configured segment_value while the MultipleHiLoPerTableGenerator uses a key value (which is based upon the entity name). Since all my entities extend an abstract BaseEntity, I want to use the enhanced TableGenerator with the old behavior for building the where clause.
