Re: Hibernate ids

Tony,

The usual thing to do would be to define the Hibernate ID as per the 
existing primary key on the tables.  You can use <composite-id/> if you 
have several primary key columns.

Creating a separate column for a Hibernate ID would be possible in theory, 
but very unusual!

We are using Hibernate (against a copy of some iSeries tables propagated 
to an Oracle database) and it works well.   We haven't used it to talk to 
iSeries DB/2 yet.

Hibernate ids






I'm taking a look at Hibernate to replace our existing data access layer, 
and as I look at the pile of books I have front of me one question 
continues to come up. Is the unique retrieval id required or can I just 
the primary keys on my database tables? 

If anyone has any opinions on Hibernate I would love to here them as well.
