Disable automatic versioning in Hibernate JPA provider?

Question

Hi,

We are in a middle of an migration process of converting EJB2.1 entity beans to EJB3 we have chosen Hibernate as JPA 1.0 provider in Weblogic.

We would like to disable auto. increment of entity version when persisting. Is it possible to turn of this feature? (as in property or persistence.xml?)

Do JPA 1.0 support pessimistic locking?

Thanks

Hibernate uses the @Version annotation to denote the versioned field on your entity. By simply removing this annotation the increments to this field will be disabled.

Pessimistic locking is supported by hibernate
