The EJB specification requires that all fields be initialized to Java default values, so unless it is explicitly set in ejbCreate you will get a Java default set. Beside the spec requirement, I personally agree with this behavior, because it results in better portability.

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.

We have no such feature, but I sounds like a good option. File a feature request, and it may make it into 4.0.
