i have a table which is mapped with following id

<id name="xId" column="X_ID">
<generator class="sequence">
<param name="sequence">X_ID_SEQUENCE</param>

</generator>
</id>

IN some scenarios while inserting a record i need to set my own primary key. we used to do this in the hibernate 3.0.5 using this following method in the Session class.
session.save(xObj, xObj.getXId());

but after upgrading to hibernate 3.2.x this method is not available anymore. What is the alternative for me in the hibernate version 3.2.x

Thanks

I figured out a good way to do this. I created my own SequenceGenerator extending the existing sequence generator. And this new class will be used in the hbm file. The custom sequence genrator will only create sequence when there is not primary key set. I have given the code below

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Properties;

import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.MappingException;
import org.hibernate.dialect.Dialect;
import org.hibernate.engine.SessionImplementor;
import org.hibernate.id.SequenceGenerator;
import org.hibernate.type.Type;

public class CustomSequenceGenerator extends SequenceGenerator {
private String entityName;

public void configure(Type type, Properties params, Dialect d)
throws MappingException {
entityName = params.getProperty(ENTITY_NAME);
super.configure(type, params, d);
}

public Serializable generate(SessionImplementor session, Object object)
throws HibernateException {
Serializable id = session
.getEntityPersister(entityName, object)
.getIdentifier(object, session);

if (id == null)
return super.generate(session, object);
else
return id;
}

}
