Re: Display PrimaryKey

public Integer pk() {
	try {
		return (Integer) EOUtilities.primaryKeyForObject( =
this.editingContext(), this ).objectForKey( "id" );
	} catch (Exception e ) {
		return null;
	}
}

The exception would occur on unsaved objects as it doesn't have a =
primary key yet.

But consider adding a unique id to the EO other than the primary key, =
which you then could make a normal attribute. You shouldn't expose the =
primary key to the outside. If you one day need to migrate the database =
somewhere else, chances are the primary key will change. An additional =
attribute could stay the same. Plus you can set and determine that =
attribute on unsaved objects, too.
