             Summary: Add A at Column(length) on Entity attributes of type String 
                 Key: FORGE-1200
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1200
             Project: Forge
          Issue Type: Feature Request
    Affects Versions: 2.x Future
            Reporter: Antonio Goncalves


It would be good to be able to set the length of a string on an entity. If you do :

{code}
field string --named title ;
constraint Size --onProperty title --max 2000
{code}

You will get : 

{code}
@Column
@Size(max = 2000)
private String title;
{code}

Even in Java EE 7, the integration between JPA and Bean Validation hasn't been made. So this doesn't create a column in the DB with 2000 char long. What you would need is :

{code}
@Column(length = 2000)
@Size(max = 2000)
private String title;
{code}

It would be good to have extra length parameter, something like :

{code}
field string --named title --length 2000;
{code}
