Exactly. You should always set default values through the implementation of awakeFromInsertion(), like this:public void awakeFromInsertion(EOEditingContext ec) { super.awakeFromInsertion(ec); this.setSomething(aValue); } Ken On Sep 27, 2006, at 3:07 AM, Markus Ruggiero wrote:I can only think that the creation and insertion of the EO into the editing context does this. However I would not use the constructor to init any default value but implement the dedicated method awakeFromInsertion() for this purpose. The constructor is also executed when you read the object data from the database and the framework re-constructs your EO. This is probably not what you want.
