Hi Fredrik, If it helps, here is a simple example:
- https://github.com/mrg/cbe/tree/master/InsertingObjects/MeaningfulPK The more interesting files are the main program and the Cayenne project files: - https://github.com/mrg/cbe/blob/master/InsertingObjects/MeaningfulPK/src/main/java/cbe/inserting/MeaningfulPK.java - https://github.com/mrg/cbe/blob/master/InsertingObjects/MeaningfulPK/src/main/resources/cayenne-cbe-inserting.xml - https://github.com/mrg/cbe/blob/master/InsertingObjects/MeaningfulPK/src/main/resources/cbe-inserting.map.xml You can download the two XML files and load it up in Cayenne Modeler to take a look. You need to make sure your meaningful PK is mapped as a Java attribute and set the value before calling commitChanges(). And to second what Ari said, don't use meaningful PKs if you can avoid it. mrg On Sat, Jun 11, 2016 at 3:19 AM, Fredrik Widengren < fredrik.wideng...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello > I'm kind of new to Cayenne.
