EclipseLink Sequence generator does not start from initial value provided

Question

PFB my code,

@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.SEQUENCE,generator="empIdSequence")
    @SequenceGenerator(name="empIdSequence",initialValue=10000,allocationSize=1)
    private Integer empId;

I am using EclipseLink 2.5.x implementation and MySQL Database. When i create a record the empId starts from 1 instead of 10000. Is there any other configuration that i need to do ?

To prevent conflicts everytime you restart your application or spin up a new instance somewhere, the intialValue is only used when creating the sequence generator in the database, when the tables are dropped and created.
