Hi, I finally got my entity beans working the way I want. But I found that to get the sequence working, I had to use the following annotations (look at the GeneratedValue annotation): @Entity | @Table(name = "t_investigators", | schema = "dryice" | ) | @SequenceGenerator(name = "InvestigatorBeanSequence", sequenceName = "s_investigators") | public class InvestigatorBean implements Investigator, Serializable { | | @Id | @GeneratedValue(generator = "InvestigatorBeanSequence") | @Column(name = "id") | private long tableId; But according the JSR 220 specs (regarding persistence) the following should work (see example 1 chapter 9.1.9: GeneratedValue Annotation) but it doesn't: @Entity | @Table(name = "t_investigators", | schema = "dryice" | ) | @SequenceGenerator(name = "InvestigatorBeanSequence", sequenceName = "s_investigators") | public class InvestigatorBean implements Investigator, Serializable { | | @Id | @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "InvestigatorBeanSequence") | @Column(name = "id") | private long tableId; I had to leave out the strategy to get things working. Is this normal? -- pj View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3987265#...
