Annotation Type Default

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=METHOD)
public @interface Default

Specifies a default value for the database field corresponding to the tagged method. This default value will be used at INSERT, usually automatically by the database. If the database does not provide a DEFAULT modifier for fields, the value will be injected into any INSERT statement, ensuring it is indeed the default value for the field in question.
