Hibernate POJO mapped to Database View doesnt have ID

[mail2bansi]

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.
