I've been struggling with my first WO project and have run up against an error for which I can't find an answer. I read the documentation related to key generation here: "http://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/ Enterprise_Objects/Saving/chapter_8_section_5.html#//apple_ref/doc/ uid/TP30001011-DontLinkChapterID_14-TPXREF151"

but am not getting anywhere.

The project type is a direct to java client created in Xcode 1.5 that connects to a PostgreSQL database containing one simple table defined like so:

CREATE TABLE people (
	_id	int4 NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
	first_name text,
	last_name text
);

The EOModel looks to be OK but when I fire up the app and try to enter new data, I get the following error:

"Save failed: Server exception Adaptor com.webobjects.jdbcadaptor.JDBCAdaptor@689e12 failed to provide new primary keys for entity 'People'!"


Normally, with a database there is some kind of plugin to work around the quirks of that particular database in relation to the sql syntax that eof expects. That is also the case with postgresql.


When you create a psql database, most of the time the primary key is supplied by a sequence. So, a people table would also assume a people_seq table and a table for the primary key, normally named people_pk, or people_pkey or something like that. That is the construction that the original postgresqlplugin framework from hexdreams was using. The postgresql plugin from projectwonder uses a people_SEQ table, and a people_pk table. Are these table available, when you connect to the database with psql and do a description of sequences with \ds, and a description of indexes with \di?


Did you add the jdbc jar, and the postgresql plugin framework to the project? What is the sql code that you get when creating the database from the model?




According to the key generation page above, the JDBC adaptor should be able to generate PK's if they are simple integers (which mine are) so can anyone shed any light on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks for any help

Ken
