Hello Forum,
I have a problem with EclipseLink.
I want to persist object attributes with a converter like in the following example:
@Entity
@Converter(
converterClass=ConverterJTextAreaToString.class,
name="ConverterJTextAreaToString"
)
public class MyEntity {
@Convert("ConverterJTextAreaToString")
@Column(name = "MY_TEXT", nullable=true, length=4000)
private JTextArea myTextArea;
public JTextArea getMyTextArea) {
return myTextArea;
}
}
In principle this works fine.
However, I also generate my tables with JPA (eclipselink.ddl-generation = create-tables), and whenever I use Converters JPA creates the columns as of type varchar with a length of 255.
The length attribute in the @Column annotation is just ignored, as well as the Java data type returned by the Converter.
Does anyone know how to set the data type with its attribute for a column when using a Converter?
Regards,
Mik

This is a bug in the schema generation. Please log the bug and vote for it.
The issue is the size is not applied if the column type gets defaulted, the size should always be applied.
A workaround is to set the columnDefinition in the Column to include the size.
You should also set the field type in your converters initialize method. Call mapping.setFieldClassification(String.class). This should fix the issue.
