I was searching on the Internet with regard to my problem which is using AutoNumbers with Container Managed Persistence. I found this URL which gave me some pointers http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jboss-docs/message/103 however as I am quite new to the whole J2EE programming environment, I could not make much out of it, could any one give me some pointers with regard to what has been discussed in that web page and help me solve this problem. Thank you. Devraj _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
