Primary keys

[Jayashree Mohan]

Can we use equals() on a primary key class to determine if two keys refer to the same entity or should we use isIdentical() method only?

[Greg Charles]

isIdentical() is for EJBObjects only. You can use equals to compare the primary key as long as both entity beans come from the same home. When you create a primary key class, you are required to implement equals so that this will work.
