Hi, The string property is limited to 255 chars, you must use text-area property. Take look at \xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-2.0.2\webapps\xwiki\WEB-INF\lib\xwiki-core-xx.jar ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <joined-subclass name="com.xpn.xwiki.objects.StringProperty" table="xwikistrings"> <key> <column name="XWS_ID" /> <column name="XWS_NAME" /> </key> <property name="value" type="string"> <column name="XWS_VALUE" *length="255"* /> </property> </joined-subclass> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2010/12/7 Marius Dumitru Florea&lt;mariusdumitru.florea(a)xwiki.com&gt;

(2) The database ends up in an invalid state (e.g. I can't modify the object, I can't recreate the object, I can't modify the class..) Even if (1) is arguable, (2) shouldn't happen. Are you able to reproduce (2)?

Thanks.
