String field size in the POJO Datasource

Hi all,

I use POJO as a Datasource for my report. The datatype of java.lang.String becomes mapped to String[127]. I use solution from http://insight.businessobjects.com/node/780 to solve this problem.(I use custom PojoFactory.java). Now report can show String fields of size defined in custom PojoFactory.java. But if I have the long String field it overlaps the next text field, which placed right after (vertically). What is a problem?

Thanks, Vitaly.

Sounds like you have the CanGrow option set for the field. With this setting, the field will grow vertically to accomadate the amount of text in the field. If you require the other field below the large text field, create a new section below the current section and place the 2nd field in the new section. This way, the large text field will grow in its own section without overlapping the field below.
