data sizt mapping

[Ruth He]

Hi, every one there! I am working around the deployment descriptor "orion-ejb-jar.xml", in order to define fields size to what we are expecting. Orion has automatically generated all fields size for "String" to "varchar2(255)". I defined the field size under tag "persistence-type="varchar2(XX)" and I got the impressions that orion ignores most of them but accepts some. I did not figure out yet what are the rules behind. If any body has experienced the similar situation, please give me some help. I paste the "orion-ejb-jar.xml" as following:      <entity-deployment name="ApplicationUserEJB">             <cmp-field-mapping name="groups">                 <set-mapping table="ApplicationUserEJB_groups">                     <primkey-mapping>                         <cmp-field-mapping name="loginName" persistence-name="loginName" persistence-type="varchar2(20)"/>                     </primkey-mapping>                     <value-mapping type="com.canlink.components.authorization.ApplicationUserGroup">                         <cmp-field-mapping name="groupName">                             <entity-ref home="ApplicationUserGroupEJB">                                 <cmp-field-mapping name="name" persistence-name="groupName" persistence-type="varchar2(200)"/>                             </entity-ref>                         </cmp-field-mapping>                     </value-mapping>                 </set-mapping>             </cmp-field-mapping>    <cmp-field-mapping name="customPropertyDOs">     <collection-mapping table="ApplicationUserEJB_customProps" >                     <primkey-mapping>                         <cmp-field-mapping name="loginName" persistence-name="loginName" persistence-type="varchar2(20)"/>                     </primkey-mapping>      <value-mapping type="com.canlink.components.base.bean.CustomPropertyDependentObject">       <cmp-field-mapping>        <properties>         <cmp-field-mapping>                    <fields>                     <cmp-field-mapping name="name" persistence-name="name" persistence-type="varchar2(20)"/>                     <cmp-field-mapping name="value" persistence-name="value" persistence-type="varchar2(100)"/>                     <cmp-field-mapping name="typeInt" persistence-name="typeInt" persistence-type="varchar2(20)"/>                    </fields>         </cmp-field-mapping>        </properties>       </cmp-field-mapping>      </value-mapping>     </collection-mapping>         </cmp-field-mapping>   </entity-deployment>               Ruth He   Canlink Interactive Technologies 303 Bagot Street Kingston, ON, Canada K7K 5W7   http://www.canlink.com Phone: 613-549-7883 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
