Armin thank you for your reply, I came to a solution proposed to another OJB mailing poster (Luis Cruz) that works with me and suggested that I could invoke the getUniqueValue() in the DomainObject super class... its ugly but it works fine... and it happens to be a "controlled ugliness".
I was now wondering... is it possible to map an object to two distinct columns of the same table? I mean if I have class Point { int x; int y; } and B { Point p; String name; } Can I use the B table to store the points? I was thinking about a table with the following schema: create table B (name varchar, point_x int, point_y int); I read the rowreader tutorial but it doesn't seem to fit my needs. Thank you once again!
