[Hibernate-devel] Questions about HiLo Keygenerator

[Christoph S. <ch...@sc...>]

Hi All!

It seems to me that the HILo Key generator only works if Hibernate 
manages the jdbc connections, because it wants to open a separate 
connection. Why is that needed? Also the comments in the code say that 
it wont work with application server datasources. Why is that the case?

I think uuids are a bit ugly, and hibernate doesnt seem to support 
database native key generation, so I dont know whats the best way to 
generate pks right now.
