# Sun Java System Application Server Support

Application Server support for CMP includes:

- Full support for the J2EE v 1.4 specification’s CMP model.

  - Support for commit options B and C for transactions, as defined in the Enterprise JavaBeans Specification, v2.1. See Commit Options.

  - The primary key class must be a subclass of `java.lang.Object`. This ensures portability, and is noted because some vendors allow primitive types (such as `int`) to be used as the primary key class.

  - An Object/Relational (O/R) mapping tool that creates XML deployment descriptors for EJB JAR files that contain beans that use CMP

  - Support for compound (multi-column) primary keys

  - Standards-based query language (EJB QL)

  - CMP runtime support. See Configuring the CMP Resource.
