Search Listing Causes Length Message to be Displayed

[sandman202]

I have a search screen called uzerList.xhtml. There are 2 search paramaters on the screen: Company and Name. Upon entering the screen, the listing displays fine. If I click on the Search button, the message:

length must be between 1 and 40

This is coming from my uzer entity where the name length must be between 1 and 40.

uzerList.xhtml

<ui:define name="body">
        
    <h:form id="uzerSearch" styleClass="edit">
    
        <rich:simpleTogglePanel label="User Search Parameters" switchType="ajax">
        
            <s:decorate template="/layout/display.xhtml">
                <ui:define name="label">Company</ui:define>
                <h:inputText id="company" value="#{uzerList.uzer.company}"/>
            </s:decorate>

            <s:decorate template="/layout/display.xhtml">
                <ui:define name="label">Name</ui:define>
                <h:inputText id="name" value="#{uzerList.uzer.name}"/>
            </s:decorate>


        </rich:simpleTogglePanel>
        
        <div class="actionButtons">
            <h:commandButton id="search" value="Search" action="/role/admin/UzerList.xhtml"/>
        </div>
        
    </h:form>
    
    
    
    
    
     <rich:panel>
         <f:facet name="header">User Search Results</f:facet>    
          <ui:include src="/role/admin/UzerTable.xhtml">
             <ui:param name="uzerFrom" value="/role/admin/UzerList"/>
         </ui:include>
    </rich:panel>
    
    <s:div styleClass="actionButtons" rendered="#{empty from}">
        <s:button view="/role/admin/UzerEdit.xhtml"
                    id="create" 
                 value="Create User">
            <f:param name="uzerId"/>
        </s:button>
    </s:div>

    
</ui:define>

Uzer.java

public class Uzer implements Serializable
{
        ...

     private String company;
     private String name;

        ...

     @Length(max = 50)
     @Column(name = FIELD_COMPANY)
     public String getCompany() {
          return company;
     }

     public void setCompany(String company) {
          this.company = company;
     }

     @Length(min = 1, max = 40)
     @Column(name = FIELD_NAME)
     public String getName() {
          return name;
     }

     public void setName(String name) {
          this.name = name;
     }

       ...

}

What is causing this to happen?
