how to create an entity bean when the primary key has been already set

[thelordoftherings]

Hello,

Lets say I have an SQL server and I would like to create an entity bean which is connected to one of the tables.
The problem is that when a row is created at this table the primary key is a serial number which the SQL server creates automaticlly. How do I use an entity bean to create new row at this table in this case? The problem is that the create should return a primary key but this key cannot be created by the bean itself...

Generally speaking, you can set the id to whatever you want and it will override the generated one.

Thanx, but it is not true, I've tried it already and I receive an Exception. It cannot override a field which is configured as "Identity" at the SQL server... Any more ideas anyone?

What kind of persistence are you using CMP or BMP?
