Hi David! Note that I am successfully able to generate the VO for the relation on the "many" side (Dept) using the link you refer to in your response.
However, I have a problem generating the VO for the object on the "one" side. Also, as per the doc, it suggests that the getXxxVO() should be abstract. However, if I do declare an abstract getXxxVO(), I get the following exception: ================================== 14:54:21,984 ERROR [LogInterceptor] EJBException: javax.ejb.EJBException: Method is not a known CMP field accessor, CMR field accessor, or ejbSelect method: methodName=getDeptVO() ================================== Are there any concrete examples you can forward?

I assume that you simply don't specify the type since it's the VO and not a collection, but I'm not entirely sure. Finally, you need to add an abstract method for getting the Vos: public abstract DepartmentVO getDepartmentVO(); You should tag it as interface-method, IIRC. You probably need to declare the setDepartmentVO as well. Hopefully this will get you started.
