Getting Error while setting generated id in hibernate

I have a Student object which i need to save in database. The id : studentId is defined like in HBM :-

        <id name="studentId" type="long">
            <column name="ST_ID" />
            <generator class="native" />
        </id>

Now, for generating the ID, i have written the code, which i have generally implemented, same as it was present in hibernate Source, as below :-

// fetching the entity persister for the entity
EntityPersister persister = 
    ((SessionImpl)session.).getEntityPersister(entity.getClass().getName(), entity);

// get the model 
PersistentClass model = configuration.getClassMapping(persister.getEntityName());

// cache concurrency
CacheConcurrencyStrategy strategy = persister.getCache();
Class persiterClass = model.getEntityPersisterClass();

SessionFactoryImpl  sessionFactoryImpl = 
            (SessionFactoryImpl) session.getSessionFactory();

if(persiterClass == null) {     
    persister = new SingleTableEntityPersister(model, strategy, sessionFactoryImpl)
}

this.id = persister.getIdentifierGenerator().generate((SessionImpl)session, entity);

persister.setIdentifier(entity, id, EntityMode.POJO);

Now, when i reach the code line persister.setIdentifier(entity, id, EntityMode.POJO);, I get the following exception :-

IllegalArgumentException in class:
com.school.class.Student, setter method of property: studentId
org.hibernate.property.BasicPropertyAccessor$BasicSetter set
SEVERE: expected type: long, actual value: org.hibernate.id.IdentifierGeneratorFactory$2
org.hibernate.PropertyAccessException: IllegalArgumentException occurred while calling setter of com.school.class.Student.studentId
    at org.hibernate.property.BasicPropertyAccessor$BasicSetter.set(BasicPropertyAccessor.java:104)
    at org.hibernate.tuple.entity.AbstractEntityTuplizer.setIdentifier(AbstractEntityTuplizer.java:211)
    at org.hibernate.persister.entity.AbstractEntityPersister.setIdentifier(AbstractEntityPersister.java:3601)
    at com.school.class.Student.<init>(Student.java:140)

Please Help, as i am unable to understand the error, as I have picked the code same from hibernate. If it works, properly over there, then this code should also work here.

Thanks

That error is caused because the Student class does not have the method setStudentId{Long id)

In the HBM File, i mentioned the generator as <generator class="native" />, with which it was not working, then i tried with <generator class="increment"/>, I don't know the exact reason, but it worked properly with that.

I feel the proper reason can be that the identifier generator was POST_INSERT_INDICATOR, which i feel means that the id will be generated after the object is being inserted into the database, whereas I was trying to generate the same before insetion, thats the reason it was failing.

I even tried with other id generators also, Refer This , i tried uuid, assigned, increment, sequence, and hilo, they have worked properly, but native & identity, failed with the same problem.

Any updates to this answer are invited, as even i want to know the exact reason for this thing and will like to know, the exact reason.

Some generators can't generate the identifier before the actual insert, therefore they return a special marker object from the generate() method. This object indicates that Hibernate should obtain identifier in different way, using PostInsertIdentifierGenerator.getInsertGeneratedIdentifierDelegate() method.
