Hello!

I would like that a database's default value is used when doing an INSERT if a property is null.

For example:
<class name="Person" table="Person">
[....]
<property name="faktor" type="double">
<column name="faktor" default="1.0" />
</property>
</class>

In the Java code I create a new object Person, do not fill in the property faktor and save it in the database. But instead of the default value "1.0", NULL is saved. But I would like that 1.0 is saved.

Can someone help me out?

Thanks in advance,
Martin

Hibernate does not support default value. You can handle it on database lavel(using trigger or assigning default value).

You can set default value in constructor:

It might actually be easier to just put it into the table creation at the database level. You could also override the setter of the POJO to return 1.0 when the object is null.

Just ideas...
