Yeah, I just constructed a new string from the byte[]. Is there a reason why this column type maps to a byte[] instead of a string?

I'm not a struts developer, however did you try setting the column type="longtext" or, if you need a string you can pass a byte[] to a String() constructor. -----Original Message----- From: Cameron Hickey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 9:38 AM To: 'Apache Torque Users List' Subject: LONGTEXT what to do? I realize that this may seem like a silly question, but I don't know the answer: I need to store long bits of text (HTML and XML) in a MYSQL database. If I set the COLUMN TYPE="LONGVARCHAR" in my torque schema, that generates a method which returns a byte[] data type. Why is this so? I want to use this value in a form field on a Struts based website. How should I get the value to become a string? Should I overwrite the method which returns the value, or manage the conversion in my Struts application?
