I'm using JBoss 3.2.3 and Sybase ASE 12.5.4.
(can't change those versions)

I'm not hable to have my generated field (not a key) read after insert/update using <auto-increment/> in jbosscmp-jdbc.xml.

The database schema contains a "version like" column for each table.
This column is auto generated by the database (in Sybase it is known as a timestamp even if it a varbinary data) this field is a Java byte[] (returned by the driver) mapped in a Object bean property.
The value is changed every time the line is modified (done by the database).

My trouble was this value wasn't read after the insert (or update). I found the interesting <auto-increment/> for the configuration then tried to use it.

jbosscmp-jdbc.xml (the column here is Mvs_timestamp)

When I run a simple unit test that creates a new line the generated column is not read.
Here is the SQL statements :

18:10:02,024|16|5|statement|SELECT COUNT(*) FROM LO_MVT_STOCK WHERE MVS_CLEF=?
18:10:02,071|32|5|statement|INSERT INTO LO_MVT_STOCK (MVS_CLEF, MVS_USER, MVS_QTE, MVS_MOTIF, ... , MVS_DATE_CREA, MVS_DATE_SUP, MVS_TIMESTAMP) VALUES (?, ... ?)
18:10:02,102|0|5|commit||

Please could someone tell me what to do?
Is it impossible ? (I hope not)
If it's not possible what could you suggest me to do?

Thank you for your attention
