Hi.

I have a few questions. If anyone can answer any of the 3, I would really
appreciated it.

1. We have problems using sequences, sometimes the correct id is not given
back, but instead they send back a zero id. Can anyone tell me what is
causing this?

Can you show us how you are declaring the sequences?

2. We have problems with foreign keys ( generation and referencing).

We'd need more details about your mappings and sequences and a description of the actual problem to hope to help with this.

3. There seems to be problems with out of order writing for master- detail
relationships. ( detail records are written before master thus making
referntial integrity violation on detail table.) Is it possible to receive
any timeframe estimations  for this problem to be fixed?

Your problem that OpenJPA does not read foreign keys by default. The following excerpt from OPENJPA-39 might be helpful:

OpenJPA has to know where the DB foreign keys are. You have a few options:

- Using the org.apache.openjpa.persistence.ForeignKey annotation, and related annnotations (ElementForeignKey, etc) to tell OpenJPA exactly which relations and joins have foreign keys
on them.
- Setting the "openjpa.jdbc.SchemaFactory" property to "native (ForeignKeys=true)" will tell OpenJPA to read the existing schema from the DB, including foreign key locations, using JDBC schema reflection. Under this setting OpenJPA will also validate that the schema and mappings
match.
- Setting the "openjpa.jdbc.MappingDefaults" property to "jpa (ForeignKeyDeleteAction=restrict, JoinForeignKeyDeleteAction=restrict)" will tell OpenJPA to just assume that all relations
and joins are backed by database foreign keys.

The first and third options also affect schema creation, in that OpenJPA's schema creation tools will add foreign keys to to the annotated relations and joins / to all relations and
joins under those settings.


Many thanks.
