Is there a way to make hbm2java generator used the unsaved-value as the default in the POJO you create?

I would like to use hbm2java to create my POJOs and never have to edit them (as I prefer middle out to top down). HOWEVER I need the POJOs to have the id default to unsaved-value otherwise I have to set that manually (and the best way to do that would be to edit the generated POJO).

What I would like is for the following hbm :
---------------------------------------------------
<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="com.investing.pd.Investor" table="investors"
dynamic-update="false" dynamic-insert="false">

<id name="investorId" column="investor_id" type="int"
unsaved-value="-1">
<generator class="native"></generator>
</id>


To create something like:
-----------------------------------------------
public class Investor implements Serializable {

/** identifier field */
private int investorId = -1;

IS THIS POSSIBLE?

Why not trying to use as unsaved-value the Java default value for the corresponding type?

Otherwise another solution would be to have a meta with class-code where you initialize the field with the needed value:

Thanx for the help.

Unfortunately the <meta attribute="class-code"
produced no discernable difference from hbm2java.

As far as the first suggestion I guess I don't understand what it is you mean, as it is an int not sure what the java default is for that.
But nonetheless the whole reason I need to do this is to get it to work with a pre-existing framework that expects unsaved POJO's to have a identifier of -1(int)

It is supposed to place the code included in the <meta> element into the generated class. I think it must work.

Java int default value is 0. So if you set this value for the unsaved-value, there will be no more need for tricks.

But nonetheless the whole reason I need to do this is to get it to work with a pre-existing framework that expects unsaved POJO's to have a identifier of -1(int)



If none of the above does not work you can always go to AOP (AspectJ, Aspectwerkz) and solve it (even if in this case I don't recommend it being in this case a hack :-( )

The meta attribute "class-code" must work if you are using the latest version.
