Hi Jason,
The EJB 1.1 specs do not specify how, or even if, an entity bean can be
mapped on to an existing database. So I guess the answer is no, there is
no correct way (nor incorrect way). Changing the persistent field names in
the orion-ejb-jar.xml seems to be the best (only?) way to do it in Orion.
