    copied!<p>I think the question might be a bit stupid - I am working on my first Play project and thus I am still in train to try to gain an overview over the software ;) </p> <p>Well, I have a page containing a textarea. A user should be able to enter text there and store it permanently in the standard ebean database. But storing never works and I can't find out the reason!</p> <p>This is the class definition for the database object:</p> <pre><code>public class Entry extends Model { @Required public String text; public String studentName; @Id public long id; public static Finder&lt;Long, Entry&gt; finder = new Finder&lt;Long, Entry&gt;( Long.class, Entry.class); public static Entry getMe(Long id) { return finder.byId(id); } public static void saveMe(Entry toDataBase) { toDataBase.save(); } // .... } </code></pre> <p>Here is the text area:</p> <pre><code>@(entryForm: Form[Entry]) @import helper._ @main("xy") { &lt;h1&gt;report for @entryForm("studentName")&lt;/h1&gt; @form(routes.Application.storeReport()) { @textarea(entryForm("report:")) &lt;input type="submit" value="Store Report"&gt; } } </code></pre> <p>In the <code>Application.storeReport()</code> method entryForm.bindFromRequest().hasErrors() is always true..</p> <p>and changing <code>@textarea(entryForm("report:"))</code> to <code>@textarea(entryForm("text"))</code> (..to tell the thing, which of the 3 Entry fields I actually want to fill) even causes a PersistenceException: </p> <blockquote> <p>"the type [class models.Entry] is not a registered entity? If you don't explicitly list the entity classes to use Ebean will search for them in the classpath. If the entity is in a Jar check the ebean.search.jars property in ebean.properties file or check ServerConfig.addJar().]"</p> </blockquote> <p>Orienting on the <a href="http://www.playframework.org/documentation/2.0.2/JavaTodoList" rel="nofollow">ToDoList example</a> I can't detect how I could register an entitly else than letting it extend the play.db.ebean.Model!</p>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
