get auto generated key, on save, using hibernate + spring mvc

Question

I am using Spring MVC + Hibernate

@Resource(name = "sessionFactory")
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

// save
public <T> int save(T entity) throws DataAccessException {
    Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
    session.save(entity);

}

As New Record Save , New Primary Key generated which in auto increment (db.MySQL). I want to get and return the new auto incremented value with respect to the above method.

Update me !

Try this instead. This works with latest Hibernate (version 4.1) also.

session.persist(object);
object.getId();
