I've looked around but have apparently missed this little detail. When I use @Generated(...) to populate created-date and modified-date fields, where do the values come from: the container or the database?

In the project I'm working on, we will have multiple containers but a single database, therefore I'd like to use the database time and not container time.

Thanks for the info!

@Generated values rely on some database trigger - Hiberate then reads in just generated values to update the entity.
