How to Use Entity Beans with Auto-Number (Identity) Primary Key ?

[john cooney]

I am having a problem using an Auto-Number with the ejbCreate() method
for Entity Beans. The Key Field (ProductID) is a key and Auto-Number
(OR Identity in SQL Server). I added an extra ejbCreate() method and
took out the productID parameter but there is a problem with it.
The code is below...

Thanks,
John.

        public ProductPK ejbCreate(int productID, String name, String description,
int qty, BigDecimal price, String picture) {
                this.productID = productID;
                this.name = name;
                this.description = description;
                this.qty = qty;
                this.price = price;
                this.picture = picture;
                return null;
        }

        public ProductPK ejbCreate(String name, String description, int qty,
BigDecimal price, String picture) {
                this.name = name;
                this.description = description;
                this.qty = qty;
                this.price = price;
                this.picture = picture;
                return null;
        }
