Hibernate POJO mapped to Database View doesnt have ID

Wondering how to leverage hibernate pojo mapped to database view as satabase view doesnt have ID i.e. primary key

That means the pojo doesnt have ID.

I will be using the values in the pojo to generate JSF h:dataTable with ID value as the link , so that when users click on the ID link it will populate the remaining fields on the form

Any pointers/suggestions will be highly appreciated

I'm not sure I understand the problem. You're retrieving an item which doesn't have PK but you want to use it's PK?

Thats right

Err you can't :). I don't understand, if it doesn't have a PK then it doesn't. What you need to do is find something you can use as the PK. Is there nothing unique at all about this data. I really don't understand what you are trying to do.
