@Id @GeneratedValue but set own ID value

by

It may be an overkill but have you thought about writing your own CustomIDGenerator which probably subclasses say the AutoGenerator of hibernate and exposes a couple of methods where you can set the id of the next class object to be generated so for example

class MyGenerator extends .... {

public void setIdForObject(Class clazz, Long id) {
    //once you use this API, the next time an object of 
    //type clazz is saved the id is used
}

public void setIdForObject(Class clazz, Long id, Matcher matcher) {
    //once you use this API, the next time an object of 
    //type clazz is saved and the matcher matches yes the id will be 
    //assigned. Your matcher can match properties like name, age etc
    //to say the matched object
}
}

This could get complicated but at the least is possible as per hibernate doco
