Hi Jesse,

I'm implementing a method to populate new EOs with default values before save.

I see lots of ERXEnterpriseObject methods beyond awakeFromInsertion,

I would recommend init() instead of awakeFromInsertion. init() was added to fix a bug where awakeFromInsertion gets called twice after a cascade delete fails validation... or something (^_^)

including nice looking things like DidInsertProcessor and so forth.

I'd like to use the D2W rules to set values like "active" = "true" or "author" = "session.user"

The d2wContext of your page is generally unavailable in your EO unless you use thread locals.

If you DO find yourself using thread locals in your model, I would suggest you consider how you use them carefully so you don't end up with a model that is totally dependent on one application.

Does anyone have some overview advice for those new to the more modern ER frameworks in terms of how to implement this common concept I'm after?

ERXEntityClassDescription has some stuff for initializing values. So does migrations.

thanks for thoughts or insights --
