Here is my sample program

================
Entity myentity = entityManager.find(class, key);

entityManager.remove(myentity);

entityManager.flush();

myEntity.setId(xyz) // id is primary key

entityManager.persist(myentity);
entityManager.flush();

========

I even tried, detaching entity (as well entityManager.clear()) but that did not help either, so basically i tried this too

Entity myentity = entityManager.find(class, key);

entityManager.remove(myentity);

entityManager.flush();

entityManager.detach(myentity);

myEntity.setId(xyz) // id is primary key

entityManager.persist(myentity);
entityManager.flush();

I am using eclipse link 2.3.2. can someone please tell me how to make this work?

Just want to add that I am getting following error when I am trying to persist the entity (one removed) with different primary key

The attribute [xxxxx] of class [MyEntity] is mapped to a primary key column in the database. Updates are not allowed.

You cannot change an object's id. Instead create a new object, or clone/copy the object.
