IdGeneratorType (Hibernate JavaDocs)

```
@Target(ANNOTATION_TYPE)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface IdGeneratorType
```
Meta-annotation used to mark another annotation as providing configuration for a custom identifier generator. This is the best way to work with customized identifier generation in Hibernate.
For example, if we have a custom identifier generator:
```
 public class CustomSequenceGenerator implements BeforeExecutionGenerator {
     public CustomSequenceGenerator(CustomSequence config, Member annotatedMember,
                                    CustomIdGeneratorCreationContext context) {
         ...
     }
     ...
 }
 
```
Then we may also define an annotation which associates this generator with an entity and supplies configuration parameters:
```
{@code
```
