simulating select for update in hibernate.

I have a POJO mapped to a table (one primary key) and everytime I do an update to a row of that table I want to do a "select for update" effectively locking
other people from concurrently making the update. Is there a hibernate 2.0
mapping attribute I can use?

Probably you have use LockMode feature of Hibernate.

Transaction transaction = session.beginTransaction();
Country country =
(Country) session.get(Country.class, id, LockMode.UPGRADE);
cat.setName("India");
transaction.commit();

Country will be loaded into session using a SELECT FOR UPDATE,
thus locking the retrieved rows in the database until they�re released when the transaction ends.

Hope this will help.

correction to above code.
country.setName("India");
