The method you have overriden is for the client to manipulate and maintain. For eg. you are storing them as a key value pair.It is not used by by finder method. See other options like EJB Ql etc.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cheers Ashwani Kalra Sr. Mem. Dev.

Hello, I have an Entity bean(CMP) for a user account in my J2EE application. User Id is the primary key for the same. I want to make user id case in-sensitive which is case sensitive at present. I wrote equals method to return true after comparing the 2 user ids by ignoring the case. But, I am not being able to get the desired result!!!  I am using findByPrimaryKey() to find the record. It should return same record for 'xxx' or 'XXX' value of userId.   ***************************     public boolean equals(Object obj)     {          if(userId.equalsIgnoreCase(((GTUserPK)obj).getUserId()))            return true;         else            return false;    }   ***************************** Can anybodu tell me how to do this??? Thanks and Regards, Pankaj.
