There is an issue in that we don't check if a gadget's description
length is too long when importing a gadget. See
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GTNPORTAL-2282
I have a patch attached to the issue to just silently truncate the
description string if its too long.
But, it might just make more sense to remove the description length
requirement for gadgets/portlet. Other than an issue with not being able
to save a gadget, it seems to be working fine right now with extra long
descriptions.
Is there any real reason why we have a restriction on application
description lengths?
