Jonathan S Fisher commented on HHH-2060:
----------------------------------------

Hello hibernate friends :) I think since this does not involve a major code change, but merely a DTD change, this should be considered for incorporation into 3.3. My company has spent time developing a test case to prove Hibernate will support this change. If the tests could be reviewed I think this is a minor change that would benefit many people: Many developers are "locked into" or handed a schema that was not designed specifically for hibernate. Thank you for your consideration.

> Hello, 
> This is the continuation of HB-389
> We develop an application which has very strong need for performance with several tens of million recordings. Partitioning is a need.
> So for that, I use <composite-id>. But my primary key is not a natural key, but a real technical key :
>  - column of partitioning for optimization of the data base 
>  - column of technical id
> So I need to have a generator, for exemple :
>     <composite-id name="id" class="IdPartition">
>         <key-property name="org" type="string" column="ORG"/>
>         <key-property name="id" type="long" column="ID"/>
>         <generator class="fr.test.xavier.IdPartitionGenerator">
>             <param name="table">TAB_SEQ</param>
>             <param name="column">LAST</param>
>         </generator>
>     </composite-id>
> The good news is that Hibernate can use that (HB-389).
> In fact, it is enough to modify the DTD to authorize <generator> in <composite-id> and it is all. The current code of Hibernate manages it very well. 
> Is it possible that Hibernate is enriched by this functionality?
