That's the plan.

Yes, to both.  The Object type pk will turn on the unknown pk code, and 
JBoss specific metadata will be used to configure the system.

Both. Actually I think there will be three supported types.
     - Get pk value from some generator MBean before the insert
     - Get the pk value after the insert using JDBC 3.0
     - Get the pk value after the insert using a special DB query
