As I understand, it's down to the CMP provider to 'not set' the primary key
value when the Bean is persisted. I have the same problem with IAS4.0
talking to SQLServer 7, where the primary key is an Integer with the
IDENTITY keyword (DB generates the value at insertion time). Inprise have
acknowledged that this is not supported in IAS 4.0 (CMP mechanism tries to
assign a value to the PK and the DB barfs) - and may (not confirmed to me)
have a fix in IAS 4.1.
This is vendor (CMP) specific - you need to check with the CMP provider.
Once the PK has been generated by the DB, it's value _should_ be available
in the postCreate method - at which point you could grab it and fill in the
FK value for the related objects. This may also be vendor specific ... but I
sincerely hope not!
