Answer 1

Thank you everyone for your response...... finally i have done some changes in my Department class and used a class for generating ids........Here is my code

@Entity
public class Department {

@Id
@GenericGenerator(name = "sequence_dep_id", strategy = "com.xyz.ids.DepartmentIdGenerator")
@GeneratedValue(generator = "sequence_dep_id")  
@Column(name="Department_Id")
private String deptId;

@Column(name="Department_Name",unique=true,nullable=false)
private String deptName;


@Column(name="Department_Description")
@NotNull
private String deptDesc;

//getters and setters

DepartmentIdGenerator.java

package com.xyz.ids;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.sql.*;
import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.engine.spi.SessionImplementor;
import org.hibernate.id.IdentifierGenerator;

public class DepartmentIdGenerator implements IdentifierGenerator{

    @Override
    public Serializable generate(SessionImplementor session, Object object)
            throws HibernateException {

        String prefix = "DEP";
        Connection connection = session.connection();

        try {
            Statement statement=connection.createStatement();

            ResultSet rs=statement.executeQuery("select count(Department_Id) as Id from demo.Department");

            if(rs.next())
            {
                int id=rs.getInt(1)+101;
                String generatedId = prefix + new Integer(id).toString();
                System.out.println("Generated Id: " + generatedId);
                return generatedId;
            }
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }


        return null;
    }

}
