RE: [Hibernate] custom identifier class

[Gavin K. <Gav...@ex...>]

This has been requested once before, and it would be very=20
trivial to add support for a <generator> subelement of
<composite-id>. But theres always something very fishy
about using a generated (ie. synthetic) composite id. It
really makes no sense. It never even makes sense to have a
single <key-property> be generated....

I can't imagine why you would want it....
