[jboss-user] [EJB/JBoss] - Does JBoss validate EntityBean length setting?

Hi all, Would JBoss validate an Entity's attribute for length? @Entity | public class ExampleName implements Serializable { | ... | private String name; | | @Column(nullable = false, length=25) | public String getName() { | ... | } when I invoke the following code ExampleName ex = new ExampleName(); | ex.setName("A long line that violates the max length set for ExampleName"); The server threw the following exception: anonymous wrote : | 12:35:37,312 WARN [JDBCExceptionReporter] SQL Error: 8152, SQLState: 22001 | 12:35:37,312 ERROR [JDBCExceptionReporter] String or binary data would be truncated. | 12:35:37,312 ERROR [AbstractFlushingEventListener] Could not synchronize database state with session | org.hibernate.exception.DataException: could not insert: [com.judots.ExampleName] | at org.hibernate.exception.SQLStateConverter.convert(SQLStateConverter.java:77) | ... | Caused by: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: String or binary data would be truncated. | at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException.makeFromDatabaseError(Unknown Source) | while on the client junit test, I would receive the following error: anonymous wrote : | java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException | at $Proxy5.createExchange(Unknown Source) | at com.judots.test.Tests.createExampleName(Tests.java:29) | at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) | at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) | at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) | at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) | at org.junit.internal.runners.TestMethodRunner.executeMethodBody(TestMethodRunner.java:99) | ... | Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException | at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200) | ... | It would be nice to have JBoss validate the length automatically without us having to declare Hibernate's validation explicitly. After all, we are using Hibernate within JBoss are we not? Thanks -tony View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4027664#...
