Hi Takashi,

What is the length of the name that you are sending? The length is rarely the cause of this exception. It's typically invalid characters being sent.

I sent a familyName with 64 characters in Japanese. The character set is UTF-8, so it's 64 * 3 bytes long.

Why so long?

We have a database which stores user's names. The column difinition is 'varchar(64)'. And now, we have testing our application. A boundary test.

If there is any limit on the length, we want our application to have the same limitaion. So, we want to know how long the limitation is.
