Composite primary key problem in Entity Bean

[Mahendran Aiyappan]

Hello Sir,

Suppose i have a table named purchase_order(po_id,item_id,po_date,desc,...)
in this i am assuming that i have a composite primary key (po_id,item_id). Whether this kind of composite primary key the entity bean support. What i am asking is in ejbFindByPrimaryKey method is returning only an object. Whether this is possible or i have to normalize the table.

What is your suggestion.

Thanks

Composite primary keys are supported in entity beans. You will have to define a class which holds all the attributes of the primary key. For details regarding the rules to be followed in defining such a key refer EJB specifications.
