Hi guys,
I'm using Texo for a POC in my company and I think it's a very interesting technology. I've starting with a really simple example model, following the recommendations I could read in the documentation.
So I just used the provided "Identifable" class provided and created a random class extending it.
It works fine until I use long Java packages name (i.e. decorated with my company name in the eCore model). Let me explain, using long package names causes the generated entity name to be long as well and since we're using the default Inheritance strategy (@Inheritance: SINGLE), EclipseLink uses a discriminant column (DTYPE) while generating tables automatically.
The problem is that this column is defined by default as a VARCHAR(31) and long package names won't fit.
I found a way to extend the default size of this VARCHAR using @DiscriminatorColumn configuration
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/UserGuide/JPA/Basic_JPA_Development/Entities/Inheritance#.40DiscriminatorColumn
However, I can't get this annotation to be generated by Texo. The only annotation available is "@Inheriance" and it doesn't give more options.
How am I supposed to circumvent this issue ? Maybe resizing the column is not the best idea but I couldn't find anything else since I don't really want to change inheritance strategy.
Thanks,
BQ.

Hi Bertrand,
It is a bit of a search but the DiscriminatorColumn is hidden as a child of the Entity in the annotations model. I
attached an example annotations model and ecore model.
One side remark, imho I think it is often best to make the Identifiable type a MappedSuperclass, this to prevent all
records/objects to be stored in one large table. But it all depends ofcourse, Mappedsuperclass makes it not possible to
do querying or references on that level.
