The primkey-field must be one of the fields declared in the cmp-field element, and the type of the field must be the same as the primary key type. The primkey-field element is not used if the primary key maps to multiple container-managed fields (i.e. the key is a compound key). In this case, the fields of the primary key class must be public, and their names must correspond to the field names of the entity bean class that comprise the key. Used in: entity Example: <primkey-field>EmployeeId</primkey-field> --> essentially, remove the primkey-field element from your ejb-jar.xml and see how you go... also, using development tools like XDoclet - http://sf.net/projects/xdoclet - can avoid this sort of pain (o: cheers dim _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
