Setting primary key in ejbCreate()

Question

Hello,
I'm having difficulty inserting a record into my database. The error reporting is telling me that I'm trying to insert a null value into my primary key column even though I have confirmed that the primary key column is being set in my ejbCreate() method. The method is returning the value of the primary key parameter as per an example. This value is being generated by another class in my app (i.e. it is not auto-incrementing) and passed into a create method in the servlet. If anyone can offer some guidance it would be greatly appreciated. This seems like it should be something simple but I'm having no joy.
p.s. I'm using Resin-CMP so auto-incrementing PK is not a good idea.
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("LEARNWARE"."SCHEDULE"."SEQUENCE_NUMBER")
Thank you.

Thanks for replying. My table has six columns with one of those being the primary key (in this case sequence_number).Since the getters and setters for the field (sequenceNumber) that maps to the primary key are abstract (ala Resin-CMP), they have to be public. Changing the field definition from public to private didn't seem to do anything. I still got the same error. My deployment descriptor has the persistence type set to Container and has been all along. Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
