Thank you for immediate reply. Checked the pointers. I am using Derby which 
does not support Sequencing yet. However I got the required result by changing 
athe allocation size to 1.

Thanks

This is more or less what you'd expect.  The TableGenerator is preallocating a 
block of 'allocationSize' which is 100 in your case.  Requesting several IDs 
should give sequential results when requested from one EntityManager.  Starting 
the application and restarting will result in another allocation.

The result is that your IDs will not be sequential.  This may not meet your 
initial expectations but is entirely fine.

An alternative is to use a sequence generator if your database supports it.

You might find that this [1] article at Wikibooks provides a good explanation.
