Of course it would :)
public User(String email, String password) {
this.email = email;
this.password = password;
this.status = 'INACTIVE';
}
or
...
User u = new User(email, password);
u.setStatus('INACTIVE');
em.persist(u);
em.flush();
both would work as well.
I just wanted to know how to make the container omit the value of the [i]status[/i] field in the entity while creating an insert statement. In this way I wanted to make the database itself insert the default value defined in the table definition. That's what the default values are defined for. There's no use defining a column with its default value when you still need to set this value in the entity.
I agree I'm being a pain in the a... but I'm just curious :)
