Hi Everyone.
I have a table with an ID composed by two columns: a string and an ID. This ID is generated by a sequence defined in the DB (Oracle 11g).
How could I map this scenario in my hbm.xml file?
I've seen that composite-id allows to have more than one key property, but can a single key property be mapped as generated by a sequence?
How does Partial Id Generation work (if it's useful in this case)?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Bye bye

You could let Oracle assign the ID column upon insert by calling the database sequence.
Hibernate defines the `@Generated` and the new `@ValueGenerationType` for this purpose.

If I were you, I'd migrate from legacy HBM because annotations offer more functionalities.

Thanks, I can't move from HBM because of project specifications (sigh!).
I tried to set the key property of my composite id as generated on insert,
but I see that only propertis can be mapped as generated, not the key-property tag.
Why? Where am I wrong?
Could you help me? Should I use something different from composite-id and key-property tags?
Thanks in advance
Maurizio

It's been a long time since I used HBM, so I don't know how you could fix it from XML.
The HBM mappings will be deprecated in a future release so, sooner or later, you'll have to migrate to annotation-based mappings.
