ejbCreate saving null values

[melladh]

I have a bean named ApplicationBean. When I call create on Application, it only creates null values in the database. It does however try to create a new row with these null values.
However, when I call the set methods, it sets properly, and it gets when calling the get properties.

This is my ejbCreate:

public PersonPK ejbCreate(String name, String surname, String ssn, String email, String status, String registrationDate, int id) throws CreateException
 {
 this.name = name;
 this.surname = surname;
 this.ssn = ssn;
 this.email = email;
 this.status = status;
 this.registrationDate = registrationDate;
 this.id = id;

 return null;
 }

It doesn't matter if I return a

new PersonPK(id)

instead of null, I still get the same results.

Since the getters and setters work, I believe the xml-files are properly set, or they should fail too.
Or so I assume.

Wouldn't be such a big deal, if not for the fact that the primary key can only be set in the create method. Anyone know how to solve this?

after a long time of searching I found that it requires me to use the methods of setName, setId, etc in the create method, instead of this.name = name, as the tutorial originally instructed me.
