Everything appear to be ok. When I tried to insert a record in the table I find it is a problem. Because all fields in the table are defined not null and have default values. The problem is hibernate try to insert all fields whether I completed only a few. Because not all fields are initialised with default values hibernate put null in the fields not initialised. This result in error on insert operation. I resolved this issue by setting values to properties in generated POJO's. The idea is I have hundreds of tables and I don't want to manually set default values for properties. I have a question: It is possible to set somehow reverse engineering to generate properties with default values taken from table definition? Ex. +public class AaaProduse implements java.io.Serializable {+ +  private String codProd;+ +  private String denProd="";+ +  private String sirGrupare="";+ +  private String sirCautare="";+ +  private BigDecimal stoc=0;+ +..............+ +instead of:+ ++ +public class AaaProduse implements java.io.Serializable {+ +  private String codProd;+ +  private String denProd;+ +  private String sirGrupare;+ +  private String sirCautare;+ +  private BigDecimal stoc;+ Thank you very much, Alex -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/758522#758522] Start a new discussion in JBoss Tools at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
