Hello, I'm having problems with an entity field of enum type: | @Entity | @Table(name = "project") | public class Project implements java.io.Serializable { | | public static enum PROJ_STATUS { Requested, Rejected, Approved, Paused, Canceled, Working, D | one }; | | private PROJ_STATUS status; | | // Setter for status field | @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING) | @Column(name = "status", nullable = false, length = 10) | @NotNull | @Length(max = 10) | public PROJ_STATUS getStatus() { | return this.status; | } | } | As shown above I get the exception shown below when the container tries to update Project (i.e. call setStatus(PROJ_STATUS.Approved)). If I comment out @Length everything works great. As you can see, none of the string-values for the enum exceed 9 characters, so why would it complain about @Length?
