I don;t want to use an id. My primary key will be that tracking number. How do I avoid this error?

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of element type "class" must match "(meta*,(cache|jcs-cache)?,(id|composite-id),discriminator?,(version|timestamp)?,(property|many-to-one|one-to-one|component|dynamic-component|any|map|set|list|bag|idbag|array|primitive-array)*,(subclass*|joined-subclass*))".

Move your tracking number property into the <id> element, and use the "assigned" generator type.

That did the trick
