No, I'm sorry, scratch that. I'm still having the problem. 
My ValueObject does indeed have a getPersonUId and setPersonUId method, 
generated by xdoclet. 

But my PersonCMP does not set the UId when it instantiates a value object 
to return back to the calling method. 

That is, my PersonCMP which is generated by XDoclet looks like this : 

PersonValue getValueObject () { 

        PersonValue  = new my.project.PersonValue();

        try { 

        PersonValue.setName(getName());
        PersonValue.setAddress(getAddress());

        /** NOTE there is no setPersonUId() called here!!! WTF? ***/

        }
        catch ( Exception e ) { 
                throw new EJBException (e) ;
        }

        return PersonValue;
}


Could this be a bug in XDoclet ? 
My source code is *very* *very* similar to XPetstore which seemed to work

thanks
Nat
