Hi,

Am using EJB3.0 Entity on WL 10.3 . The application is designed in
ValueObject model i.e Entities are not directly passed to client but
converted into value objects and then sent to client. I cannot change this
design now.
Value object also has primary key (id) column . My requirement is to create
an entity and send VO back with id of newly created entity set.

Now I understand , id is not generated untill the entity is inserted into
database.. At the end of method when i convert Entity to VO , I donot get
the primay key as the transaction is not committed yet.
So to overcome this problem , I have user em.flush() ... and then I could
get the key.. I understand its a bad practice to use flush .. but can
anyone suggest how else can I get the system generated primary key at the
end of method and set it back in VO ?

Thanks
Himadri
