Hi all!!!
I'm a beginner with hibernate, and I have a little problem, so I was wondering if anyone could help me...
The problem is that I need to asign a default value of 0 to a property, but I don't know how. I know that I can assign it to an <id> by using the unsaved-value poperty... but how can I make solve this with a property or column?

My mapping is somtthing like this:

<class name="Language">
<id name="code" type="long" column="code" unsaved-value="null">
<generator class="native"/>
</id>
<property name="ord" type="long"/>
<property name="name" type="string" length="40"/>
<property name="ident" type="string" length="40"/>
<property name="isoName" type="string" length="20"/>
</class>

ANd what I need is to have a dafault value of 0 in property "ord"...

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks in advance for any response!!!

Just assign it to your class property in the constructor of your class. Note that hibernate will overwrite it with the data read from the DB if you load an object. On save, hibernate will store the data currently contained in your object, eg. the default value you set in your constructor.

Thank you, but I don't really understand what you mean.
Can you show me an example?

Sorry for the inconvenience!!!

public class Language {
private long ord = 0;
get/set
}

Ok!!!
Thank you very much!!!
