Ah, no. Sorry. What I have is a nullable field that is an optional foreign key in the database. So, I do not have to supply a value, but if I do, it will be validated against the parent table.
At row creation time, I do not know what that value should be, so I want it to be null, but it appears in CMP2 that *every* field must be persisted at insert time. In JBuilder 6, the Data Source browser of the EJB Designer component allows you to edit column CMP properties, and there is an option to ignoreOnInsert which exactly what I want. However, the feature seems to have no effect on the deployment XML.
