Hi, I have got the same problem with my code too. By me there is a problem with the length of password. I hashed this and then got a string longer of 15 chars, what has been set actually in my @Length-rule. Some of rules (@Length for example) are first checked when You try to persist Your bean (at database level). I think that is the problem View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4041487#...
