Hi,
Page 124 of the EJB 1.1 specification states " for each ejbCreate(.. ) method the entity bean class must define a matching ejbPostCreate(... ) method . However when i am not defining a ejbPostCreate(.. ) method using the reference implementation things work fine.
Is there something that i am missing.

ejbPostCreate() is a must when CMP is used. ejbCreate() is called BEFORE database insert operation. You need to use ejbPostCreate() to define operations, like set a flag, AFTER insert completes sucessfully. With BMP, you have the control over the insert, you can do that right after the JDBC call, within the ejbCreate().
