This may seem like an odd request, but here goes...
I'm using JBoss 3.2.3 with PostgreSQL 7.3.2, and I have a CMP entity bean (coded using
ejbdoclet) that has an integer primary key. The ejbCreate code currently generates the
value for the primary key by doing a "select max(id) from table", which is really slow
because it has to access the database twice (the select and the insert).
I understand that it's possible to have the entity bean use the database to
auto-generate new primary key values. (With postgres, it has been recommended to use a
database sequence to generate the values.)
Supposedly it's possible to do this in ejbdoclet, but I can't find any reasonable
documentation or an example to copy. I then discovered that Middlegen can generate
the ejbdoclet file for me. I downloaded Middlegen and have been unsuccessful in
getting it working in my environment.
But my ultimate goal isn't to get Middlegen running. All I want is an example
ejbdoclet file for a CMP entity bean that has its primary key value auto-generated by
a PostgreSQL sequence.
Following is the source code for the entity bean. Could someone show me how to change
it so that the primary key value is auto-generated by a PostgreSQL sequence? Or,
could someone email me an xdoclet file of some other CMP entity bean that uses a
PostgreSQL sequence to generate the primary key value?
Thanks,
Mike
