[eclipselink-users] @Column, length and string truncation

["Joe Mc." <m_joe_c@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have annotated a field for example with the following annotation:
@Column(name="lastMessage", length=255)
String message;

Further I insert in this field strings longer as 255 chars.
The SQL Server throws an exception, cause the string is to long.
Why does not Eclipselink truncate the string value to the specified length
(here: 255) before the SQL Insert?

Does an other (configurable) ways exist?

Thanks

McJoe

Basic data:
- Eclipselink 1.1.1
