Enable <generator> tag for non primary key columns that are autogenerated or is an identity
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: HHH-2492
         URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2492
     Project: Hibernate3
        Type: New Feature

    Versions: 3.2.2    
 Environment: 3.2.2, Oracle 9i, SQL Server 2000
    Reporter: Manoj Pallikkattil


Currently hibenate allow <generator> tag for primary keys, i.e inside the <id> tag. It would be good if we can use the generator tag for non primary key columns also. Our current datamodel has a UUID char 32 as the primary key and ID column which is a sequence for Oracle and an Identity for SQL Server is a unique key. I could get this to work with Oracle using Parameterized User Type but I have not been able to achieve this for SQL Server since the identity column is filled on the insert. If we could use the <generator> tag inside a <property> tag this would resolve this issue.
