xdoclet doesn't include <primkey-field> ???

[guydaniel]

Hey JBoss Newbies,

Is it normal for xdoclet 1.2b2 not to include the (for eg..) <primkey-field>id</primkey-field> in ejb-jar.xml?

I've marked the primary key:

* @ejb.pk-field
abstract Long getId()

... and all the other @ejb tags work for the method.

I've found a workaround to put it as the first entry in with the finders in ejb-finders-{0}.xml, so It's no big deal, just wondering if there is a better way of doing it?

Regards,

Guy Daniel

[Xdoclet-users] gave me the answer (for some reason not known to man I had an @ before the primkey-field tag element at the class level):

If you want xdoclet to generate a <primkey-field/> element you need to inform it at class level:

/**
* @ejb.bean
* primkey-field="id"
*/

and you don't need to use @ejb.pk-field in the pk getter.
