NHibernate - best strategy to map ID which isn't identity

Just a quick question, how would one map a primary key which must be assigned manually (data type int). So, there is no identity in the database, if code was manually written you would probably open a transaction, lock the table, take the highest id, increment by one, and insert the record with the new value.

Actually, I used the increment generator, which somehow I've overlooked to exist. It has some constraints about its usage, but it suits the situation for now.

Set the Id generator to be assigned. Find more info at http://barchitect.blogspot.com/2008/07/nhibernate-generator-and-primary-key.html
