Hi Guys, I have a 'dog' Entitiy with an @Id and a @TableGenerator
...
@TableGenerator(table = "seq", name = "dog_gen", pkColumnName = "seq_name", valueColumnName="seq_val")
@Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.TABLE, generator = "dog_gen")
private Long id;
...
Is there a way to reuse the same table generator (dog_gen) in other entity? I want to keep the same id sequence in two independent Entities, say
dog=1,
dog=2,
dog=3,
cat=4,
cat=5,
dog=6
and so on...
Both entities don't share a common superclass to implement some kind of inheritance with the id property.
If I add the @GeneratedValue( generator="dog_gen") on my cat entity, omitting the @TableGenerator declaration throws an Exception saying it can't find the generator when starting the context.
