Increase the size of elements in a @ElementCollection

Question

I have an @Entity in JPA which has a @ElementCollection like this:

@ElementCollection(fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
List<String> photodescription = new ArrayList<>();

The problem is that by default, the Column for any photodescription is a VARCHAR(255). I need to increase that to 10000.

Exists any anotation for the elements from a @ElementCollection to set a maximum size like @Size(max=1000) which is used for a simple String?

Answer 1

The @Column annotation should still work for this collection of strings:

@ElementCollection(fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
@Column(length=10000) // OR @Column(columnDefinition="VARCHAR(10000)")
List<String> photodescription = new ArrayList<>();
