Automatic key generators too restrictive
----------------------------------------

         Key: GERONIMO-682
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-682
     Project: Geronimo
        Type: Bug
  Components: OpenEJB  
    Versions: 1.0-M3    
    Reporter: Aaron Mulder


The SequenceTable automatic key generator always executes a create table 
statement, and just ignores any errors.  I don't believe this is appropriate -- 
I suspect in most cases the user is not going to expect/want the app server to 
create tables (or indeed execute any DDL).

The SQL automatic key generator requires an initSQL statement that is always 
executed.  Again, I don't feel this is appropriate, since I think it will be 
much more common for the underlying database sequence (or whatever) to already 
exist (and as is it will generate a warning on every startup *if your database 
is configured correctly*).

If the create/initialize behavior is strongly desired, there should be a flag 
to enable it (defaulting to false IMHO) and/or this step should be skipped if 
no initSQL is specified.

These appear to actually be TranQL problems, but there's no such category 
above.  See org.tranql.pkgenerator.*
