Dain, I dont know if this is relevant, but does openejb give the ability to plugin a custom pk generator?

I integrated the OpenEBJ2 conversion code which adds all table, column and foreign key declarations to the cmp mappings. Currently, if we see that the cmp used a key generator, we always set the bean to use IDENTITY pk generation, but we should be able to map all key generator types. Remember, complex primary keys and unknown primary keys don't work. -dain On Jan 31, 2007, at 3:31 PM, Dain Sundstrom wrote: > I have integrated the code that converts the ejb-jar.xml CMP > declarations to a JPA entity mappings file.
