Forgive me, but what about the case where you just set the prim-key-class to be "java.lang.Object" and don't specify a managed primary key field in your ejb-jar.xml file? While that's not the world's most advanced method for automatically generating primary keys, it's there, and it does work.... Of course, I have no idea how to refer to this autogenerated primary key using EJB-QL, but that's beside the point ;) Cheers, Simon -- Real Programmers don't play tennis, or any other sport which requires you to change clothes.
