In this post you will find a collection of informations concerning the service builder.
Maximum size of a database columns
For each model entity you define in service.xml a seperate database table will be created.
By default service builder will set the maximum size of a database column for each of a model's
fields to 75 characters. To configure the maximum size take a look at docroot/WEB-INF/src/META-INF/portlet-model-hints.xml.
For example if you want to set the maximum size of a field called "name" to 1000 characters you can change:
to
1000
Force ServiceBuilder to recreate database tables
ServiceBuilder uses the table "servicecomponents" to memorize if certain database tables have already been created. If you want to force ServiceBuilder to recreate database tables for some reason just remove the rows referencing your portlet from database table "servicecomponents".
