Question

given the following model example:

@Entity
@Table(name="tierenforcers")
public class TierEnforcer extends Model {
    public BigInteger maxStorage; // expressed in B
}

How can I map a BigInteger in my yml file? If I do something like:

TierEnforcer(joeTE):
    maxStorage:             5368709120

I don’t get an error on #play test startup, but a NULL value in my database (BigInteger created as decimal(19,2) in MySQL, but persisting values into this seems to be working fine with JPA otherwise)

Answer 1

Play! uses snakeyml under the hood. Look at their website for more info.

Looking at this yaml example you can try to create a BigInteger and then assign it to your instance

bigInteger(myBigInt): 123456789012345678901234567890123456789

TierEnforcer(joeTE):
    maxStorage:             myBigInt

Hope it works 😉
