Latest SEAM-GEN ERRORS org.hibernate.HibernateException: Wro

[mgrouch]

I get this error trying to bring up a simple app generated with SEAM-GEN.
I've reversed engineered entities from DB using seam-gen. My DB is Sybase. What could be the reason and how can I fix it?

org.hibernate.HibernateException: Wrong column type: eventType, expected: varchar(6)

Thanks,

[mgrouch]

What could be wrong here?

@Column(name = "eventType", nullable = false, length = 6)
 @NotNull
 @Length(max = 6)
 public String geteventType() {
 return this.eventType;
 }

I came across a similar Exception with the 1.2.0Patch1 release (I haven't tried this on 1.2.1 yet).
In short, some fields in my tables were deliberately of type char (rather than varchar) to test out seam-gen and even though the entity beans were reveng'ed by seam-gen, the expected type for those same fields on the deployed app was varchar.
In my case I was able to fine-tune the schema this time, but I never got an answer to my question about what to do when the schema is fixed (eg a client's legacy app that has some fields defined as char(n)).

I've got rid of this exception by adding

import org.hibernate.annotations.Type;
and this annotation

@Type(type = "char")

It goes further, but
now it is hanging after giving this message

This caused other problems. The workaround that worked is to disable
ddl schema validation completely

hibernate.ddl.auto=false

Thats the work around, but is there any solution?
