reading new primary key of inserted object [message #641362]

Hi,

We use an Oracle 10g database and EclipseLink 2.1.1, without JPA.
When i insert a new object into the database with the UnitOfWork-Object by calling registerNewObject and commit, the primary key (NUMBER) is generated with a database sequence called by a database trigger on insert action.

The question is:
How can i read the new generated primary key back to my application???

i'm a bit confused about this. Any ideas or hints how this works?

Regards
MS

You can use the ReturningPolicy in EclipseLink to do this.

I would recommend however that you let EclipseLink assign the value and remove the trigger, or have the trigger do nothing if the id is already assigned.

This will allow EclipseLink to preallocate the sequence values, and be much more efficient.
