Can you not use nested transactions or transaction scopes to support this?

Essentially what you are asking is for nh to assign the id before you use it, generated ids are only assigned when changes are flushed, changes are flushed only at transaction boundaries therefore can you not create an inner transaction scope to wrap the nh related persistence forcing the flush and id generation but still allowing the outer transaction to fail and roll back all work if one of the stored procedures fail.

How do I do nested transactions in NHibernate? has some sample code that demos an approach using scopes.
