Spring Roo 2.0.0M1 <textarea> instead of <input> tags

New to Roo, created an app with STS and the resulting forms from the Entity (see code below), I get <textarea> tags instead of <input> tags, why is that? Is they a way to force input tags?

@RooJavaBean
@RooToString
@RooJpaActiveRecord
@Configurable
public class DataSource {

    /**
     */
    @NotNull
    @Column(unique = true)
    @Size(max = 60)
    private String name;

    /**
     */
    @Size(max = 2000)
    private String description;

}
Solution

  • Try @Length(max = 2000) instead of @Size(max = 2000)

    When I remember right, Roo 1.x switched form input to textara when the max length was greather than some threshold.
