[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-3298) seam-gen doesn't handle hibernate types such as yes_no

[Dan Allen (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3298?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12459540#action_12459540 ] 

Dan Allen commented on JBSEAM-3298:
-----------------------------------

Resolved by making the following two changes:

1. Don't add @Length annotation for boolean types
2. Add @Type(type = "yes_no") annotation to entity properties that are set to the hibernate type "yes_no"

> 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.
