Preference Values whose length is greater than 255 characters cannot be saved ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPORTAL-438 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-438 Project: JBoss Portal Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Portal Portlet Affects Versions: 2.0 Final, 2.0 Branch, 2.2 Branch, 2.4 Final Environment: Windows 2000, JBAS 4.02 Reporter: Dennis Meers If you create a portlet that supports EDIT mode and a logged-in user edits a preference, if the value they put in has more than 255 chars, an error occurs. This is because the table that saves user preference values (jbp_user_pref_value) has a column called 'jbp_value' that is defined as 'VARCHAR(255)'. I don't know if the portlet spec defines how many characters are allowed in a preference value, but 255 characters seems small for some portlets.
