How to give starting value to auto increment in hibernate

Question

I am new to hibernate. How do I specify in Hibernate the starting value of my ID (say 100000) and auto increment the ID starting at this value in my code. Any help on this is appreciated.

@Id
@Column (name = "ID")
@GeneratedValue(generator="increment")
@GenericGenerator(name="increment", strategy = "increment")
private Integer ID;

Try this: http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/JPA/SetInitialValueOfTableGenerator.htm

JPA has a @TableGenerator annotation in which you can set an initial value.

I found a way around this. I manually entered a row in the database with ID 1000000 and used the code mentioned in my question. The next time a add a record to this table, it takes 1000000 as the last value and starts incrementing from this value. Thanks for your help.
