[news.eclipse.rt.eclipselink] DDL generation with WriteTransformer

[sven.hoffmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Sven Hoffmann)]

Hi,

I found that DDL generation of EclipseLink 1.1 does not take the attribute 
length of WriteTransformer's column attribute into account.

I configured ReadTransformer and WriteTransformer on an entities attribute 
as follows:
@ReadTransformer(method = "readDeliveryInstructions")
@WriteTransformer(method = "writeDeliveryInstructions", column = 
@Column(name = "INSTRUCTIONS", length = 228))
private List<String> instructions;

Return value of WriteTransformer is of type java.lang.String.

The generated DDL contains VARCHAR(255) which is the default value of 
String fields.

Is there way to make sure the define length is used in the generated DDL? 
Should i file a bug?

Best regards,
Sven
