How to set auto increment id in hibernate without using annotations?

Question

I wanted to set auto increment id while sending data to the database.

I can do so by using annotations @Id and @generatedvalue . But I don't want that to use annotations.

Are there other ways to do achieve this?

Answer 1

You can define a sequence in your database and xml config define it as

<id name="id" type="java.lang.Long" column="id">
    <generator class="sequence">
      <param name="sequence">tracks_seq</param>
    </generator>
</id>

Answer 2

<id name="employeeId" column="EMPLOYEE_ID">
    <generator class="increment"/>
</id>
