Wrong column type: areccod, expected: varchar(2) ------------------------------------------------ Key: EJB-320 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/EJB-320 Project: Hibernate Entity Manager Issue Type: Bug Components: EntityManager Affects Versions: 3.2.1 Environment: Informix IDS 10 on Linux, JBoss 4.2GA, JBoss Seam 2.0 CR2 Reporter: Luis Medalhas Priority: Critical I'm using an Entity bean that look something like this @Entity @Table(name="ep3prj_t") public class Project { @Id private int aprjkey; @Length(max=2) private String areccod; ... In the database the column "areccod" of the table "ep3prj_t" is defined as char(2). When i deploy the application the deployement fails because of this error: javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Wrong column type: areccod, expected: varchar(2) I think using a String should be valid for the types CHAR and VARCHAR , i cannot change the data type because this database is mantained by the customer.
