[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-401) PersistencePlugin should not initialize default value for @ManyToOne

PersistencePlugin should not initialize default value for @ManyToOne -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: FORGE-401 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-401 Project: Forge Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Richard Kennard Assignee: Lincoln Baxter III Fix For: 1.0.0.Beta4 At present the PersistencePlugin generates the following default values in its entity beans: @OneToMany private Set<Grocery> groceries = new HashSet<Grocery>(); @OneToOne private Employer employer; @ManyToOne private Employer employer = new Employer(); The first one is non-controversial. The second one I would like to be initialized (please please?) as it makes things much easier for the UI. But I understand if you are against that. But the final one I definitely think should be removed. We should just leave @ManyToOne relationships as 'null' by default. It doesn't make sense to pre-initialize them, even for new entities, because they are meant to point to *existing* entities.
