problems with ejb create and primary keys

[ghoyle]

Hi,

I am having a problem deploying a sample entity I created. I am new to jboss and Entity Beans etc.
I created a a simple Entity Bean based on CMP 2.0 and was hoping it would create the table when I deployed it.
I am developing in Netbeans 3.6 and using the nbkboss pluging.


The error i get from jboss is

2004-05-13 16:14:54,541 INFO [org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer] Starting deployment of package: file:/opt/jboss-3.2.3/server/all/deploy/employ.jar
2004-05-13 16:14:54,864 WARN [org.jboss.ejb.EJBDeployer.verifier] EJB spec violation:
Bean : Employee
Method : public EmployeePK ejbCreate(short, String, String, String, Date, String, String, short, String, BigDecimal, String) throws CreateException
Section: 10.6.4
Warning: The return type of an ejbCreate(...) method must be the entity bean's primary key type.

2004-05-13 16:14:54,868 ERROR [org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer] could not create deployment: file:/opt/jboss-3.2.3/server/all/deploy/employ.jar
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Verification of Enterprise Beans failed, see above for error messages.

The ejb create method I am using looks like

public EmployeePK ejbCreate(short EmpNo , java.lang.String FirstName , java.lang.String LastName , java.lang.String PhoneExt , java.sql.Date HireDate , java.lang.String DeptNo , java.lang.String JobCode , short JobGrade , java.lang.String JobCountry , java.math.BigDecimal Salary , java.lang.String FullName) throws CreateException{

 setEmpNo(EmpNo) ;
 setFirstName(FirstName) ;
 setLastName(LastName) ;
 setPhoneExt(PhoneExt) ;
 setHireDate(HireDate) ;
 setDeptNo(DeptNo) ;
 setJobCode(JobCode) ;
 setJobGrade(JobGrade) ;
 setJobCountry(JobCountry) ;
 setSalary(Salary) ;
 setFullName(FullName) ;
 return null;

 }

The Primary key class is

public class EmployeePK extends Object implements Serializable {
 public short EmpNo;

 public EmployeePK() {
 }

 public EmployeePK(short EmpNo) {
 this.EmpNo = EmpNo ;
 }

 /**
 * @see java.lang.Object#equals(Object)
 */
 public boolean equals(Object otherOb) {
 boolean b = true;
 EmployeePK other = (EmployeePK) otherOb;

 if (this == otherOb) {
 return b;
 }

 if (!(otherOb instanceof EmployeePK)) {
 b=false;
 return b;
 }
 return b;

 }
 /**
 *Override hashCode()
 */
}

Any help at all will be much appreciated.

How do you declare your PK in your deployment descriptor?

[ghoyle]

my deployment descriptor or at least part of it is

<ejb-jar>
 <description></description>
 <display-name>employ</display-name>
 <enterprise-beans>
 <entity>
 <description></description>
 <display-name>Employee</display-name>
 <ejb-name>Employee</ejb-name>
 <home>EmployeeHome</home>
 <remote>Employee</remote>
 <local-home>EmployeeLocalHome</local-home>
 <local>EmployeeLocal</local>
 <ejb-class>EmployeeBean</ejb-class>
 <persistence-type>Container</persistence-type>
 <prim-key-class>short</prim-key-class>
 <reentrant>false</reentrant>
 <cmp-version>2.x</cmp-version>
 <abstract-schema-name>Employee</abstract-schema-name>
 <primkey-field>EmpNo</primkey-field>
 <cmp-field>

 <query>
 <description></description>
 <query-method>

 <method-param>EmployeePK</method-param></method-params>
 </query-method>
 <ejb-ql></ejb-ql>
 </query>
 </entity> </enterprise-beans>
.

.

Hope this helps...

Your prim-key-class must be something.something.EmployeePK
