Hi guys,

My environment: JBOSS 4.2.1, OpenJPA 1.1, Java 5, EJB 3 (+JPA), build time
enhancement, many entities, Oracle 10g

We are currently inserting a lot of entities. Therefore we use a common
sequence (inherited from a @MappedSuperClass):

@Id
@SequenceGenerator(name = "SeqGen", allocationSize = 100, sequenceName =
"SEQ")
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "SeqGen")
public int getId()
{
  return id;
}

When creating 1000 entities and then call em.flush(), OpenJPA first performs
1000 times 

SELECT SEQ.NEXTVAL from dual;

It then executes the 1000 insert statements (hopefully in batch). When
looking at the allocationSize javadoc, I assumed, that it would create an
ORACLE sequence with INCREMENT_BY 100 and then catch a new sequence value
every 100 inserts?

Is my expectation for allocationSize wrong, or do I use it the wrong way?
Is there a better / other way to configure the expected sequence behavior?
The problem is that our application now has a huge overhead in performance
only to calculate the ID of the new entity.

Thank you in advance for your help!

bye, Georg
