Hello Robert, in JBoss-3.0 you have no chance to achieve it. Since version 3.2, JBoss supports unknown primary keys. Currently, autoincrement is supported for MySQL only. If you use JDK1.4 then you can make use of JDBC3 getGeneratedKeys. You'll need just setup the table to generate the primary key and configure unknown primary key for cmp bean.
Using CMP, you have other alternatives, though: - UUIDKeyGenerator for UUID keys; - custom sql to fetch the next key value (for DBs that support sequences); alex Tuesday, October 15, 2002, 11:21:02 PM, you wrote: RM> Hi - RM> I have a table that has a NUMERIC primary key that is defined as an IDENTITY RM> key.
