DB default values

Hi,

what is the best practice with db's default values?
Is it good style to copy the logic into the constructor of the extended
data object?

In regard to which fields you set, it really doesn't matter - the Java
defaults are completely separate from the DB defaults, so it's up to you.
 The DB defaults are not utilized by Cayenne at all.

Hello Markus,

You should create an onPostAdd callback in the modeler, generate the
class(es) again, then implement the method (setting the default values you
want) in the data object subclass.
