@Id
annotation is used to mark particular field as primary key. You can ask
hibernate to generate key for you. There are four different options that JPA
(Java persistent API) provides (Hibernate implements JPA).
IDENTITY
SEQUENCE
TABLE
AUTO
Type
|
Description
|
IDENTITY
|
Hibernate
assign primary keys for the entity using a database identity column.
|
SEQUENCE
|
Hibernate
assign primary keys for the entity using a database sequence.
|
TABLE
|
Hibernate
assign primary keys for the entity using an underlying database table to
ensure uniqueness.
|
AUTO
|
Hibernate
pick an appropriate strategy for the particular database to generate unique
key.
|
Note:
Most
of the databases don’t support IDENTITY, SEQUENCE. So take wise decision while
using these generation types, because it may cause problem for you while
migrating to new databases.

Run
TestEmployee class, you will get output like below.

Open
MySQL prompt, and check employee table
mysql> select * from employee; +----+-----+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------+--------------+----------+--------+ | id | age | description | designation | firstName | lastName | salary | +----+-----+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------+--------------+----------+--------+ | 1 | 26 | Whaterver the world i saw yesterday is absolutely different from today | Senior Software Developer | Hari Krishna | Gurram | 80000 | | 2 | 30 | If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it. | Teaching staff | Ritwik | Mehenty | 100000 | +----+-----+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------+--------------+----------+--------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
As
you see employee id’s are generated by Hibernate automatically.
