Configure native sleep id generator in spring context

Question

I use Spring, and Hibernate and I recently created a custom Id generator. Right now, on my Java domain object, I:

@GenericGenerator(name="...", strategy="com.acme.MyIdGenerator", ...) 

Can I create / configure com.acme.MyIdGenerator in my Spring context and somehow use Hibernate instead of Hibernate instance of it?

If you are just trying to isolate the generator from the user class (or classes), you can define the generator in the package-info.java class. See this example in the test suite .

But if you really want to match it in XML, you will have to map this particular entity as hbm.xml ( as shown here ) and add it to the Hibernate configuration in the Spring context.
