Hi,
I want the entity bean to execute an oracle function i.e. initcap before inserting the field in the DB is there a way to do this within the entity level
ie without using a oracle trigger (db level)
or formating the string before setting the cmp field in core java land.

is there some way i can specify this in the config files.
Cheers

You have two options. One use a BMP entity bean and invoke your function using CallableStatement and the appropriate CRUD(Create, Read, Update ,Delete) code in the bean. Option two is develop a stateless session bean maintain your CRUD operations using an entity bean and make a CallableStatement call to your function.

shouldn't there be an easier solution.
adding more beans means more maintainance.
currently my system uses a java method to format the String before using the entity bean.
I was wondering if there is anyway in the config files where i could tell the container to use function x on a cmp field.

any opinions??

I doubt any application server will support such a functionality and if it does I am sure it will not be portable.

If you have a name-value pair config lookup facility in your framework, you can easily include the SQL procedure name (can be stored proc) in the config and perform a lookup from any persistence layer, can be home grown POJO persistence, SLSB or entity bean - and then execute the CallableStatement.
