EJB's stored in incorrect order

[L Duperval]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out a problem with my JBoss installation. I have a number of 1-M relationships defined and when I try to create data that contains a foreign key, I always get errors like this:

java.sql.SQLException: INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'SM_FOREIGN_KEY'. The conflict occurred in database 'TE', table 'MEMO', column 'MEMO_UUID'.

I am using a third-party code generator that creates the deployement descriptors and all that stuff for me. I'm thinking that the problem lies somewhere there but I can't see what it is.

The symptom I am seeing is that the child elements are saved before the parent element. Since the constraints are defined on the database server (and I am not at liberty to remove them) it complains because the foreign key of the child points to a as yet) non-existent parent. I don't understand what determines the storage order so I'm not sure what to change to make the parent be stored befor the child(ren).

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Oh yes, the database server is SQL Server 2000 on Windows XP.
