VersionGeneration (Hibernate Javadocs)

java.lang.Object
- org.hibernate.generator.internal.VersionGeneration

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, BeforeExecutionGenerator, Generator
```
public class VersionGeneration
extends Object
implements BeforeExecutionGenerator
```
A default Generator for @Version properties. This implementation simply delegates back to:
- VersionJavaType.seed(java.lang.Long, java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Integer, org.hibernate.engine.spi.SharedSessionContractImplementor) to seed an initial version, and
- VersionJavaType.next(T, java.lang.Long, java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Integer, org.hibernate.engine.spi.SharedSessionContractImplementor) to increment a version.
Thus, this implementation reproduces the "classic" behavior of Hibernate. A custom generator specified using a generator annotation will override this implementation, allowing customized versioning.

    Parameters:
    
    session - The session from which the request originates.
    
    owner - The instance of the object owning the attribute for which we are generating a value.
    
    current - The current value assigned to the property, or null
    
    eventType - The type of event that has triggered generation of a new value
