The PK really just uniquely identifies your entity bean to you and the EJB
container. It needn't extend down to the table. The PK class can still be
anything you like.
In fact, you don't even need a create() method in your entity home interface.
Just having a finder is enough. I've written some collection beans that are
never "created" -- they're always "found". That's because there's no primary
key in the underlying table.
Everything I've said is kind of nebulous, but if you provide some specifics to
your problem, a more specific answer could be provided.
