what i mean is: if the CMR field (called 'foo') which is being mapped to the same database column as a CMP field which is part of the primary key, then doing a setFoo() on that CMR field would in effect be changing the primary key too, which is a no-no. thus, i would not expose that setFoo() CMR method in any of the entity bean's interfaces. make sense? thanks again! mike.
yes
