Cmp auto increment

I write a bean.
It has id field which must increment auto.
I use j2ee. how can i do this.
Thanks

Hi Ugur,
Which Server are you using ? Coz I was just going
g through weblogic and if you are deploying your bean
in weblogic , it can be mentioned in the descriptor
that the pry key os auto increment If i use string as my primary key??? as P1, P2 etc????
.hence that wont be
created while creating the record, even though it
would be mapped to the table column.
And also you havent replied about the bean that you
plan to use.Please let me know your idea.
Patidar..would reply to your question a bit
later..sorry bout that :-(
thx.

  • Trying to create cmp correctly(auto-increment);error while running

    I am using the latest versions of Jboss(4.0.5.GA) and Lomboz(R-3.2-200610201336) along with SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft's SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver.
    Lomboz used xdoclet to create the java files based on the SQL table but it did not put anything in the DoctorBean.java file telling it that the primary key was auto-incremented.
    Using the JSP files, I can retreive data out of the database fine so I know the connection and drivers are set up properly.
    Here is the error:

    Nevermind.. no one bothered to inform the developer that the path to the collection AND the path to the directory that the collection is for are different on this other server.
    Fixed.

  • CMP with auto-increment primary key.Please help

    Hi all,
    I new with EJB technology so please bear with me.
    Env: 2k Server, SQL 2k Server
    Sun One(Forte EE) to develop and deploy CMP
    I got the servlet to load the data from CMP's business mehods
    is fine. Calling the findPrimaryKey is OK too. Even when I try to insert the row into DB is OK. At this time I make key PK is int AND NOT
    AUTO INCREMENT everything is OK. In the ejbCreate method
    I called setPK, setName ...It's fine.
    The problem comes when I try to make the PK(still int) to be auto-increment field.In ejbCreate not call setPK because of in SunOne IDE, under the J2EE RI tab of EJB Module property, the Auto generate SQL I set to false so that I can
    modify the SQL statement under SQL Deployment.createRow not taking the PK. I thought that will do it but it doesnot like it at all (I got Exception with transaction rollback)I just want to insert a single row with ID and name that's all.
    Then I changed the SQL statment take PK and changed the Auto Generate SQL to True and in ejbCreate the PK as one of the args and called setPK this time with null object. It doesn't like neither.(Exception Cannot set the primary key with null. That is reasonable.)
    I thought using EJB fast and clean technique would help developer to develop application with easiness.
    So I realy stuck with this, I wonder ejb 2.0 support for auto increment at all because I would like to take advantage of the auto increment feature of the DB without writing the PrimaryKeySequence generator at all.
    Am I missing something with this? May be just config thing to tell
    that my PK is auto-increment field so that when the ejbCreate called it knows not taking the PK or even not asking to call setPK in ejbCreate.
    Any help would appreciated.

  • How to use auto incremented tabe to create a CMP Entity Bean

    hi,
    I want create a CMP entitybean with an auto incremented table in
    Oracel. So I need to know
    - how to create a table with an auto-incremented field in oracel and
    - how to change the create() method according to that.
    I am using Sun studio enterprise for EJB developing.

    For auto increment in Oracle you should use Sequence/Trigger combination.

  • Auto Incrementing

    I am creating a online bank example assignment and i'm really stuck, I have created 4 different entity beans for Accounts, Customers, Managers and Transactions however at the moment i need to create the ID's to each table my self and add it in with the create method.
    How do i set-up the xml files so that when i run the create methods the accountID field for example auto increments.
    Hope you understand the question
    Andrew

    It all depends if you are using BMP or CMP entity beans. With CMP beans you can have the container automatically generate the PK fields for you. This is done by creating the PK field in the database as a Long type of field. Different DB's have different types. Then when you map your bean to the table you would not have the PK field as a CMP field. Then when creating it will automatically generate a unique ID for you on create. Now if you are using BMP then the best way is to have the DataBase generate the id for you with a sequence or a autoincrement field. That is if the DB supports it. If it does not, then the use of a Entity to store your unique id's is fine. We have a few beans that we do this with for fields we have that are not PK fields that need to be in sequence. The reason we use this is so we can move to different DB's and not have to worry about the autoinc. or seq. fields. But if you do not have to worry about that then use the DB for them.

  • How to use auto-increment and search option for MS Access DB

    Dear All,
               I have configured our invoice in Adobe Livecycle and connected it to MS Acess 2007 as per http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/09/18/connecting-a-form-to-a-database/.
    All is working fine, I can insert, retrieve data from DB to invoice and vice versa.
    Now I want few things to be implemented on our invoice.
    When ever I open our invoice, it populate the first entry from DB, Is it possible to populate the last entry ?
    Auto increment invoice number from MS Access DB every time we open our invoice after save.
    How to implement search option from DB for invoice number ?
    Please let me know if someone can provide me help on my scenario, so that I can share more stuff related to invoice and DB.
    Look forward to hearing soon from experts and other team members.
    Thanks & Regards

    As far as I know there is not any auto increment data type in Oracle. Instead of this you should create a sequence and get the next value of the sequence while creating a row in your table.
    CREATE SEQUENCE Test_Sequence ;
    CREATE TABLE Test_Table ( Id NUMBER , Foo VARCHAR2(4) ) ;
    ALTER TABLE Test_Table ADD CONSTRAINT Test_Table_PK_Id PRIMARY KEY ( Id ) ;
    INSERT INTO Test_Table ( Id , Information ) VALUES ( Test_Sequence.NEXTVAL , 'FOO' ) ;

  • Auto increment with collection is not working

  • How can i create an auto increment column

    Hello Everyone
    We are working on an EAM package which has an auto number facility but that is not meeting our requirement because some 10s and 100s of numbers keep on jumping based on the number of records the child table has.Means every record in my parent table will have some child records in another table which we call it a child table.The number of numbers that will be jumped each time will depend on the number of child records it has. Now we want to create a new column and generate a sequential unique number in my parent table with out linking it to its child table and use this number as a reference number. And we cant do that through our package customization. Can any one guide us if we can meet our requirement through oracle triggers or so.
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi,
    For "Auto-Increment" functionality - you can use a combination of a sequence and a trigger like so:
    create table roles ( role_id INT
                       , role_name VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL
                       , creation_date DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE NOT NULL
                       , role_description VARCHAR2(255)
                       , CONSTRAINT roles_pk PRIMARY KEY (role_id)
                       , CONSTRAINT roles_uk1 UNIQUE (role_name)
    create sequence role_id_seq
    start with 1
    increment by 1
    nocache;
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER roles_pk_trig
    BEFORE
    insert on roles
    for each row
    begin
    IF :new.role_id IS NULL THEN
       SELECT role_id_seq.NEXTVAL
       INTO :new.role_id
       FROM dual;
    END IF;
    end;
    /Now any insert which leaves the "ROLE_ID" column NULL will have an auto-incremented value put in for that column. This is similar to an "Autonumber" column in Access.
    Hope this helps...
    Take care.

  • Auto Increment of Primary Field in Table Maintainance

    Hi,
    We want to give an Auto increment to the Primary Key, when ever the table is updated/inserted with a new record. How to get the value updated????
    For Eg,
    Table ZTEST Contains     MANDT, ITEM,   EBELN.
    It should have the values 800    001   000977
    And when the next record is created, the ITEM value should be Automatically get the value 002.. and so on for every Record.
    Pls do let me know if any other details is reqd.
    Thanx in Advance.
    Ajaz

    Dear Syed,
       You can do many things in table maintenance screen like validation of some field, making some field required or displayed etc.
       For auto increment you have to use Number-Ranges. FM NUMBER_GET_NEXT is helpful in this case.
       Where to write the code??? The Function-Group you have made. There will be includes. You can easily locate the place to write these codes.
       Caution point is that if you re-generate the table maintenance then all code will be gone.

  • Auto-increment column increase performance in this case ?

    hi.
    i have the following facts to construct a set of tables.
    1. A Lecturer has an ID, Name and Date Joined
    2. A Classroom has an ID, Number Of Students
    3. A Lecturer can Teach in Many Classes
    4. A Class Can be lectured by Many Lecturers
    5. Each Lecture Date should be Stored in the DB.
    considering those facts, the following schema can be derived
    Lecturer
    (Lecturer_ID (PK), Lecturer_name, Date_Joined)
    Classroom
    (Classroom_ID (PK), NumOfStudents)
    Class_Lectures
    (Classroom_ID, Lecturer_ID (Composte PK), LectureDate)
    this is the normal practice we do.
    but what if the 3rd Table is constructed as follows ?
    Class_Lectures
    (LectureSeriesID (Auto-Increment, PK), Classroom_ID, Lecturer_ID (Composte Unique Key), LectureDate)
    if the 3rd Table is created as above, will there be any performance differences ? will the performance improve or get reduced ? any advantages / disadvantages of having that structure ?
    please do advise my any further best practices as well.

  • Filename generation & Auto increment filename

    Hi,
    I would like my program to create a filename automatically, im using the "Filename Generator" which was available online, and also the "Unique Filename" VI. The way im using this is, I let the user select a path, and feed the path to the filename generator.vi. The output of that VI is the input to the Unique filename.vi .And the output of this VI is the root where the actual output file will be located. Im getting an error:
    Error 7 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in Write Spreadsheet String.vi->Write To Spreadsheet File (string).vi->Write Header & Waveform Ref.vi->Main.vi
    I have attached my main VI, and the two above mentioned VIs. Also attached is the png file of the frames that contains these functions.
    Is there a way to get over this???
    Thank you,
    Eureka 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.
    Attachments:
    Main.vi ‏111 KB
    Filename Generator.llb ‏117 KB
    Unique File Name.vi ‏35 KB

    I think i see what the problem is,
    This function creates a path, but not a file. So, the input given to the write to spreadsheet file is not actually the location of a file, i would say it is something virtual.
    If i use the Unique filename.vi alone and not the filename generator.vi, my program works fine, it does increment the filename, but, the user has to select the file every time.
    For instance, i have a txt file "Current". The VI generates a file path for "Current(1)" and writes the data in the new file.
    The next time, if the user fails to select "Current(1)" as the input path, and if the input path is just the same as the 1st run, it over writes the data in "Current(1)", as expected!
    The basic problem is, i need to avoid over writing data. Because, i read the waveforms from the file and it will me messed up big time.
    Is there a function to auto-increment filenames as we write them?
    Thank you,

  • Auto-increment  identity column through procedure in oracle 10g on windows

    for this i had use sequence and then trigger to increment it.Right. Some database products have auto-increment columns, and they are really handy. Unfortunately, Oracle does not have auto-increment columns. A sequence is an auto-increment object, and it's the right way to automatically generate unique identifiers, but you need to explicity reference the sequence, either in you DML statements, or in a trigger that will automatically fire before a DML statement.
    but now i need to increment it in Procedure, while my procedure is having code to insert data in same table which has primary keyAre you saying that you need to increment the sequence, completely aside from INSERTing into the table?
    If so, just reference sequence_name.NEXTVAL wherever you want to. In PL/SQL, you can say
    SELECT  sequence_name.NEXTVAL
    INTO    number_variable
    FROM    dual;This works in any version of Oracle, but starting in Oracle 11, you also have the option of referencing te sequence without using dual, or any other table.
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a complete script that people can run to re-create the problem and test their ideas.
    For example:
    -- Here are the table and the seqauence that I created:
    CREATE TABLE table_x ...
    CREATE SEQUENCE ...
    -- Here is the BEFORE INSERT trigger I wrote:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER ...
    -- The trigger works exactly how I want it to in statements like this:
    INSERT INTO table_x ...
    -- So there are no problems (that I know of) with anything up to this point.
    -- Now I want to use the same sequence to ...
    -- so that when I execute a statement like this

  • Auto Incrementing in Text Field

    I imported a tab file and one column was the city, state and zip code. For some reason, the Zip code auto increments. It just so happened that the first cell was Durham, NC 27701. All subsequent cells incremented the Zip code by one, so the second cell became Durham, NC 27702. I have tried making the column a text field, and that did not work. I do not find any formula in the field, so am at a loss as to how to prevent the auto-incrementing from hapening.
