identity data field

[still]

i have created a table on ms-sqlserver 7.0 as follows:
id(int,identity),name(varchar),age(varchar).
then i try to create a record into this table via a ejb client(jboss2.2.2).but the exception throws:

javax.ejb.CreateException: Could not create entity:java.sql.SQLException: Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'testIdentity' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF. Severity 16, State 1, Procedure 'SVR-MISC null', Line 1
...
what should i do then? how to insert a record with an identity field with jboss?

thanks.

Unknown (autogenerated) primary keys are not supported in JBoss yet (even 3.0). It will be added to 3.0 shortly, but will not be backported.

How do we do then? If ejbCreate is not supposed to return anything, should we set the pk through the setXXX? Why are all my pks being generated with nulls? How do I make the container generate them for me?

You can't (yet).
