hi,
as you know I am switching from EJB2.1 CMP to JPA (OpenJPA). I'd like to
know the preferred way to perform attribute initialisation
of newly created entity instances, e.g.
we initialized our EJB2.1 CMP entity beans with
ejbCreate(String cid, Integer someOtherValue)
{
setabc();
setdef();
}
//and ejbPostCreate optionally
as far as I know, the JPA spec requires a no-arg constructor - so when
providing a constructor with the same args that we
have used in ejbCreate before, we cannot ensure that some developer calls
the no-arg constructor by default.
is there any other-more elegant way to force new entity instance
initialization?
regards,
HANS
