hi, abe closed this with the reasoning ...
"the book field in the PageId class must be of type String to match the primary key field type of Book" was i mistaken when i understood you to say that Page could have a PK field of type Book? if not, very sorry for all the confusion. or were you just saying that open JPA allowed the PK field to be a ManyToOne relationship? p.s., it's issue #191 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-191 Patrick Linskey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Yes, please do.
