You only need to specify column-name if the one JBoss uses does not match existing db structure, or you don't like the name it uses (just the field name). > If I have the following method: > > /** > * @ejb.interface-method > * @ejb.persistence > * column-name="address_id" > * @ejb.pk-field > * > * @return Integer > */ > public abstract Integer getAddressId(); > > Do I need the @ejb.persistence tag if I also have @ejb.pk-field? Yes. The pk-field tag just tags this field as being part of the generated pk class. The pk-field tag is really used only for compound pks. What you really want is: /** * ... * * @ejb.bean name="XXX" primkey-field="addressId" type="CMP" ... */ public abstract class XXXBean ... ... /* * @ejb.interface-method * @ejb.persistence */ public abstract Integer getAddressId(); For non-compound primary keys, use the primkey-field attribute of the @ejb.bean tag.
