BC4J: Primary Key

To assign a primary key to my new created entity objects I use the following code snipplet:

long key = 0;
String result = entity.getDBTransaction().dumpQueryResult(

        "SELECT schluessel.NEXTVAL FROM DUAL", null, null); try {

	StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(result);
	st.nextToken();
	key = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());

        e.printStackTrace();
}

Now I'm wondering if there's a better way to query the sequencer called schluessel. It seems real unefficient to get the query result as a String-Object and parse it to get the int value.

Has anyone a better solution for my problem?

Thanks!
