Hi,

you can ask the EOModel:

EOEntity entity = EOModelGroup.globalModelGroup().entityNamed(_Login._ENTITY_NAME); EOAttribute attribute = entity.anyAttributeNamed(_Login.WEBBROWSERINFO);
       int len = attribute.width();

Hello,

I have an Entity named Login. It has an attribute named webBroswerInfo that is a string. Is there any way for me to determine in code he maximum size of that string? What I would like to do is have a validation method that checks the size of the string and then truncates the string if it is above the max length for the attribute. I would like a way to do this dynamically rather then hard coding the max max value.

For instance:

I currently have this:

public String webBrowserInfo(String value) throws NSValidation.ValidationException {
    if(value.length() > 255){
        value = value.substring(0, 254);
    }

    return value;
}

I would rather have something like this:

public String webBrowserInfo(String value) throws NSValidation.ValidationException {
    if(value.length() > WEB_BROWSER_INFO_MAX_LENGTH){
        value = value.substring(0, WEB_BROWSER_INFO_MAX_LENGTH);
    }

    return value;
}

I would like to be able to change the max length in the EOModel and not have to worry about changing code. I suspect that there is a way to do this but I am perhaps looking in the wrong place.

Regards,
Jeff
