I tried explicitly dropping the null constraint at the database level - same issue - for some reason the parameter is being interpreted as not allowed to be null...while other fields defined exactly the same way are OK...
ALTER TABLE project ALTER COLUMN details DROP NOT NULL; I have been looking at the bulletin boards, stack overflow and seems like a known issue... should I file JIRA?

I have a entity class called "Project" with the field "details", <t:textArea t:id="details" t:validate="maxlength=255" rows="3" cols="90" value="entity.details" /> @Entity @Indexed public class Project { @Id @GeneratedValue @DocumentId @NonVisual private Long id; @Field private String details=""; Questions: 1. In text area should there be another attribute? I tried nulls="default" 2. In entity class, Should there be some type other decorator besides @Field (the @Parameter is not allowed to experiment with acceptNull=true)
