Re: [eclipselink-users] pojo mapping

is auto_increment a requirement for sequencing?  If it is you will want 
to insert the Item then attach the Menu in a separate transaction (or 
depending on your environment just in a separate UOW).  If auto 
increment is not a requirement then switch to a Sequence object (if 
available) or table based sequencing.  Either of these two changes will 
allow the mappings I described to work for you in the way you are 
looking for.
