Multiple updateable adf entity objects

Question

I've got a situation that is real similar to something that's covered in the developer's guide, yet it's just different enough that I need to get someone's help. I have a view object that is based on two entity objects. These 2 entity objects have a one to one association with each other. They both share the same primary key (hris_id). There is no foreign key relationship between them. This hris_id column for one of the entity objects has been set as a DBSequence type so that it's value can be set by a sequence. When i want to create a new row via this view object, I need to know where/when I can get this sequence generated value from the first entity object so that when the second entity row gets created, i can use this value (hris_id) from the first entity object to populate the hris_id column in the table for the "second" entity, since both tables will need to share the same value for hris_id column. Just not sure about where in the code this needs to happen. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
I think your situation is similar as described in the guide.
Override create in your view object row class, create first and second entity and probably you need to copy key value from first to second entity.
Try this:
    @Override
    protected void create(AttributeList attributeList) {
        Entity1Impl newEntity1 = getEntity1();
        Entity2Impl newEntity2 = getEntity2();
        try {
            newEntity1.create(attributeList);
            oracle.jbo.domain.Number hrisId = newEntity1.getHrisId().getSequenceNumber();
            newEntity2.create(attributeList);
            newEntity2.setHrisId(hridId);
