Use BLOB instead". If I'm missing something, such as maybe a bug in xdoclet that means you have to go and hack the jbosscmp-jdbc.xml manually, please let me know. 2) Setting pk-constraint to true prevents the Entity from being deployed to HSQL. org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: | Error while creating table NUKE_FAQ_CATEGORIES; | - nested throwable: (java.sql.SQLException: | Attempt to define a second primary key in statement | [CREATE TABLE NUKE_FAQ_CATEGORIES (pn_name VARCHAR(256), | pn_language VARCHAR(256), pn_id INTEGER NOT NULL IDENTITY, | pn_parent_id INTEGER, | CONSTRAINT PK_NUKE_FAQ_CATEGORIES PRIMARY KEY (pn_id))]) | at org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.jdbc.JDBCStartCommand.createTable(JDBCStartCommand.java:232) | at org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.jdbc.JDBCStartCommand.execute(JDBCStartCommand.java:93) | ... Others have also seen this behavior...

It would be good to get people's opinion here about how it is supposed to work; whether it's the HSQL or the MySQL mapping that's to blame; and where the fix needs to be made. But it is even more important to me to figure out how we can make a pure-CMP xdoclet-based template that works across all the DBMS's, transparently. 4) IMHO, this column length issue is not a PK-related problem... it seems the problem lies in the Nukes entity command (or the deeper JBoss o/r code) that generates the SQL phrase for VARCHAR as 256 rather than 255: CREATE TABLE NUKE_FAQ_CATEGORIES (pn_name VARCHAR(256) .... does not work for MySQL which has a 255 limit on VARCHARs --- "Too big column length for column 'pn_name' (max = 255). Use BLOB instead" Anybody have any insights/comments on this one? -- Howard View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3833386#3833386 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3833386 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
