1. Set with natively generated keys    forum.hibernate.org

I realize the contract for set says that contained objects must be unique. What do you do when you want to support cascaded inserts when the children are in a set? I ended up overriding equals and getHashCode to id if one exists otherwise I used a candidate key's attributes. What do you do when you don't have a candidate key ...

2. identity primary key with class="native"    forum.hibernate.org

If you are worrying about insert sql statement being issued to the database, then stop: RDBMS will discard the insert if transaction will be rolled back. Note: db connection should not be in the autocommit mode and the RDBMS is supposed to support transactions (for example MySQL does not support them without innodb)

3. composed primary key using foreign keys AND native ones    forum.hibernate.org
