Hello Andrea,
thanks a lot for your fast answer, but I still have a problem
As you suggested I switched to SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder, therefor I replaced
the code for creating the FeatureType as follows:
SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder builder = new SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder();
builder.setName("Ereignisse");
builder.setCRS(CRS.decode("EPSG:32632"));
builder.add("Location", MultiLineString.class);
for (String fieldName : fieldNames) {
builder.length(3500).add(fieldName, String.class);
}
TYPE = builder.buildFeatureType();
I can now set a restriction for Strings to be _shorter_ than 255 chars, but
not to be _longer_.
I'd need a possible maximum of 3500 chars in Field

I don't think setting the field length is supported using
this method. It's really just there to make unit testing easier,
was not expanded to make it of general utility.
I suggest you use SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder instead
Cheers
