seam-gen doesn't handle hibernate types such as yes_no ------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-3298 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3298 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Tools Affects Versions: 2.0.3.CR1 Environment: JBoss 4.2.2, DB2, Linux Reporter: Valerie Griffin Assignee: Dan Allen Fix For: 2.2.0.CR1 Attachments: EntityHome.java.ftl, GetPropertyAnnotation.ftl My database has quite a few CHAR(1) entries used as boolean values where the field can contain Y or N. I defined these entries as hibernate yes_no in the seam-gen.reveng.xml file, but the code didn't reflect the data type. To work, the field needs to be annotated with @Type(type = "yes_no") and needs to not contain an annotation like: @Length(max = 1) If the Type annotation is absent, hibernate detects a schema mismatch. (It expects a numeric boolean value.) If there's a Length annotation, the UI's checkbox displays a surprising error message about the data length.
