Constructor in toplink model class

Question

Can I have a non default multiple argument constructor in toplink. For example

public class Employee {
   private String empId;
   public Employee(String empId) {
      this.empId = empId;
   }
}

Answer 1

Yes, however a default constructor must still be available for toplink as well. Toplink uses the default constructor and setters/properties to initialize your object.
