[Hibernate] generated field as part of composite key

[Chris W. <cwi...@op...>]

I just recently discovered Hibernate and have been extremely pleased
with it so far. It will probably be replacing our Entity Beans scheme
shortly.

We're fitting Hibernate to an existing schema which is a little unusual:
every table in the system uses a composite key. I've created a composite
key object without a problem, but for some tables there's an additional
wrinkle as they use a generated field (e.g., IDENTITY in MS SQL) as part
of the composite key.

I don't expect Hibernate would have native support for something like
this, so how would I go about implementing it?

Thanks,

Chris
