Id field is a PK but is also a FK pointing towards a PK of a main table

[Ken Loh]

Hi Gurus,

I'm a newbie to Entity Beans.

In my database, there are various tables which their ID columns derive
their values from a main table's ID column. These ID columns are all
primary keys to their respective tables. This also means that apart
from the main table, all the ID columns are also foreign keys.

The ID column of the main table is auto-incremented. This relationship
ensure that no records in the various non-main tables have the same
IDs.

My problem is, how could I set up my associated entity beans of
various classes to be created such that their IDs (which are PKs) are
derived from the main table's auto-incremented ID column ?

Thanking you in advance,
Newbie to Entity Bean.
