It seems that a primary key is required on every table that is mapped.

Not that every table has to have a primary key in the schema itself, but it seems to be required in the mapping file.

I need to have a mapping for a particular table without any primary key.
Any help would be much appreciated.

There allways should be a combination of properties which identify your row as unique. Map them as composite key. In the worst case, you need to map all columns as composite keys. If there are really duplicate rows in your table, you have a problem with your relational model anyways.

Thanx for your suggestion.

But why do they force to have a pk even if i don't have one in the DB?

Should I consider this as a bug or a feature?

You might consider this a bug in your db, if there is a table without primary key :)
