The constructor of the Entity would be the best place to define these defaults.

Subject: specifying default values via JPA


Is there a way to specify default values for fields in JPA? If not is
there is a custom way to do this in toplink-essentials?

Will this be available in the JPA 2.0 if it isn't already?
