Quick question, you are using @SequenceGenerator & @GeneratedValue with a strategy of "Sequence", you are on oracle, and give it a name lets call it "s_temp". Would you expect for that S_temp to show up in the sequences table in oracle? for some reason i would have thought so but i dont see it there. is the sequences just internal to hibernate? (Fwiw i am using JBoss 4.2.1 EJBs) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4124153#...
