Looking at code generation output I feel I miss a couple of constructors, one with the full set of properties, one with only the non-null properties, that can be used to create a new bean without using all the setters. Both constructors should not contain the id in case it is generated by the framework. Sitting on my disk I have an half baked patch that creates those constructors, but I still have some problems: - sets miss then not-null attribute, so I cannot judge if they are to be included in the minimal constructor or not (the not-null attribute should be added to set, bag, ...) - of course I'm not willing to maintain this pach-set outside the CVS, so I will develop it further only if you like the idea and are willing to accept my work... (the patch is very small but it's annoying to keep it on par every time a new hibernate release is out) What do you think? Best regards Andrea Aime
