spring-roo

I have a Spring application which uses JPA ( Hibernate ) initially created with Spring Roo. I need to store Strings with arbitrary length, so for that reason I've annotated the field with @Lob : public class MyEntity{ @NotNull @Size(min = 2) @Lob private String message; ... } The application works ok in localhost but I've deployed it to an external server and it a problem with encoding has appeared. For that reason I'd like to check if the data stored in the PostgreSQL database is ok or not. The application creates/updates the tables automatically. And for that field (message) it has created a

I'm working with Spring Roo, using Spring MVC and JPA for persistence with a MySQL database. I'm very new to Spring MVC and Java in general but have worked with CakePHP and Rails. I have a User entity that contains personal details in addition to a password. Something like this (excluding a lot of Roo-generated functionality in additional .aj files): public class User { @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO) @Column(name = "ID") private Long id; @Column(name = "PASSWORD", length = 32) private String password; @Column(name = "FIRST_NAME", length = 25) private String firstName;

I have a Spring Roo project and I use mvn jetty:run to run my app. The only problem is changes to the *.java classes do not hot deploy, while changes to *.jspx hot deploy fine. So how can I configure mvn jetty to hotdeploy for java classes? You need to set the scanIntervalSeconds to a value greater than 0 to enable it: scanIntervalSeconds - The interval in seconds to scan the webapp for changes and restart the context if necessary. Ignored if reload is enabled. Disabled by default. Default value is : 0. So the configuration might looks like this: <plugin> <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>

I have been using Groovy on Rails for CRUD applications. I am starting a new project where we are not allowed to use Grails anymore (we have a list of allowed jars and grails is not there). I am considering using Spring ROO or JBoss Seam. How do they compare? What are their major strengths and weaknesses? Tim Note that Spring Roo and JBoss Seam aren't directly comparable, as JBoss Seam in itself doesn't provide the CRUD application generation mentioned in the question. JBoss Seam however comes with the seam-gen tool, which provides this functionality. It would therefore probably be better to

SpringSource (now VMWare) has two very similar technologies: Grails and Spring Roo. I have been using Grails, but I see that SpringSource is actively working on something that is a competitor for that technology and that makes me worried about the future of Grails. Does anyone know how these technologies relate, are they going to be merged, or one of them will be abandoned? Besides, are there any important technical differences betweent Grails and Roo? SpringSource 's goal is to make it as fast and easy as possible for people to build, run and manage Spring-based solutions. We have both Grails
