Is there a way to enter a hardcoded value into the table on every insert? I want to set a maintenanceID (equal to "MY_APP_NAME") on all of my tables, but instead of setting it in the object, I was wondering if it was possible to set a hardcoded value in the descriptor. Something like: <field-descriptor id="2" value="MY_APP_NAME" column="MAINT_ID" jdbc-type="VARCHAR" />
Is anything like that possible? (I know it may not be the reccommended strategy, but is it possible?) I expect to be changing the code to have the Maint_ID as a variable on the Objects , but I wanted to start with just setting all of the Maint_IDs to the app_name for now, then setting the Maint_id to the user's ID in a later release. I have to review exactly how to pass the user_Id through the different business layers. (I don't really like the idea of requiring every object that I want to persist to have a maintenance ID of the user that persisted it. ) How are other people passing Maintenance IDs through their various layers (struts , BizService/EJB, DAO/ OJB)? How are you setting timestamps? Thanks again for the guidance!! -John --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
