Very normal when you have to deal with object oriented programmers.

We are in the process of creating some significant new schemas. Everything is being normalized, by the book. Now the Java developers are saying that on the associative entities, where many-to-many relationships are resolved by an extra table, they want an artificial key to be added. Normally these tables have two keys, one from each parent table. But the developers want an additional sequential key added to help them track this entity. They say it makes it easier to keep track of this object in the EJBs. Has anyone encountered this situation? Not being familiar with J2EE, I haven't a clue whether this is a reasonable request.
