Jack, If you're using a user-defined primary key class, as opposed to a Java class like String or Integer, then you don't define the primkey-field in the ejb-jar.xml.
>From p.370 of O'reilly's Enterprise JavaBeans, 2nd Edition, describing the <primkey-field> entry in the ejb-jar.xml: It is not used if the bean has a custom primary key or if the entity bean manages its own persistence.
