Using Seam 2.0.1.GA, we used seam-gen to generate an application from an existing database.

Why do some seam-gen generated fields use ajax and others do not?

This text field was for type DOUBLE and seam-gen generated ajax for it

<s:decorate id="PriceDecoration" template="layout/edit.xhtml">
    <ui:define name="label">Price</ui:define>
    <h:inputText id="Price"
        required="true"
        value="#{user.instance.Price}">
    <a:support event="onblur" reRender="PriceDecoration" bypassUpdates="true" ajaxSingle="true"/>
</h:inputText>
</s:decorate>

But there was no ajax for this input text field of type VARCHAR(255)

<s:decorate id="nameDecoration" template="layout/edit.xhtml">
    <ui:define name="label">name</ui:define>
    <h:inputTextarea id="name"
        cols="80"
        rows="3"
        required="true"
        value="#{user.instance.name}"/>
</s:decorate>

Is this a bug or feature by design? If it is a bug, what was the code supposed to be?

Here is the java code it generated:

     @Column(name = "name", nullable = false)
     @NotNull
     public String getName() {
          return this.name;
     }

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