Business Components and Database Views - Trouble Creating

Question

I am trying to create a business component that contains a View that I created in my database. When I get to the fnnal step of creating the business component and it begins to generate the XML and Java code, it bombs out and says that the view object does not support ROWID. I just need to select only GridControl of this view.
Any suggestions/help would be appreciated. I could not find any info in the JDeveloper help.

Some options:
[list]
[*]Create the entity using the Entity Wizard instead of reverse engineering it from a table. In the entity wizard you can specify the table/view name, then indicate which attribute should function as the primary key.
[*]Don't bother creating an entity object for this view. You can just create a view object with an "expert mode" query that selects against your database view. It does not need an entity object. Note, however, that without an associated entity you won't get "uniquing" of entity level values, so if another view object being used by the same use changes the data that this grid is showing, the updates won't be automatically synchronized if you go this route.
