Hibernate version:3.0

Name and version of the database you are using:SQL server




<hibernate-mapping package="com.onebeacon.diarytracking.ormapping.domain">
<class name="FeeCompany" table="FeeCompany">
<id name="FeeCompanyAbbr" type="java.lang.String" unsaved-value="null">
<column name="FeeCompanyAbbr" sql-type="java.lang.String" not-null="true" />
</id>
<property name="FeeCompanyName" column="FeeCompanyName" type="java.lang.String" length="40" lazy="true" />

</class>

</hibernate-mapping>


when i insert one record into FeeCompany and not provide the FeeCompanyName then hibernate insert the null by default becuz it's nullable colunm.

My question is how to force hibernate to insert the defualt value instead of null for that property.


please help me.............

simply set the default in the field of your class, i.e.
class FeeCompany{
private String FeeCompanyName = "My Default Value";
}

If you do not want the default values in the POJO to cause problems in you business services, another option is using Interceptors.. You can set the default values, say, in the

method.

Hope this is helpful.

Hi - I was wondering how to do this for timestamp fields?

When I insert/update a row in a table, I want a timestamp field to be updated with the current database timestamp i.e. effectively something like:

insert into mytable (id,thetime) values (1,NOW())

and

update mytable set thetime = NOW() where id = 1

I do not want to use the Interceptor to simply set the value of 'new Date()' to my POJO, because the time would be wrong.

Any ideas?

use database triggers, if sql server support triggers
