[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (ANN-604) There is no annotation to specify default value for a column

nate moser commented on ANN-604:
--------------------------------

Rather than mucking around at the db level, I was able to workaround this shortcoming  with a class variable of 
private Boolean active = false;
instead of 
private Boolean active;

where I have 

  @Column(name = "active", nullable = false)
  public Boolean getActive()
  {
    return active;
  }

Not sure if this would apply equally to all database flavors; I'm using MySQL 5.0.

> In hibernate annotation you can't specify default value for a column.
> If you use xml files for mapping then you have this feature. 
> I consider that this is a major problem with annotation.
