[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Issue Comment Edited: (HHH-6620) @TableGenerator-governed sequence table insertion problems

@TableGenerator-governed sequence table insertion problems ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-6620 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6620 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: annotations, core Affects Versions: 3.5.0-Final Environment: May affect other versions besides 3.5.0-Final Reporter: Laird Nelson Labels: jpa2 Attachments: hhh-6620.zip The JPA specification is admittedly mum on this, but Hibernate serves up some surprising behavior. Suppose you have a sequence table that is created according to the requirements of a particular {{@TableGenerator}} annotation. So two columns, storing a sequence name and a sequence value. Suppose this sequence table is created by some DDL script somewhere, and Hibernate's automatic schema creation is deliberately switched off. Hibernate will helpfully insert new rows into this table as required, but when it does so it does not honor the {{initialValue}} attribute of the {{@TableGenerator}} annotation in question. I will supply a test case once I get the bug number. The workaround is obviously to manually insert a row into this table with the appropriate initial value, but then of course the {{initialValue}} attribute is largely useless. OpenJPA handles this case flawlessly. EclipseLink doesn't even attempt to perform the insertion.
