Implement the field lengths in the framework

[yves-bussard]

Question

Is there any plan to verify or even truncate the field lengths in the XS2A service component?

Current behavior

• Right now the XS2A services delegate the retrieval of data to the SPIs. E.g. the request to return the account list is delegated to an implementation of an AccountSpi which then connects to the ASPSP to retrieve the data and fill it into the SpiResponse as payload. Currently, it seems as if this implementation of an AccountSpi is responsible to stick to the length limitations (e.g. the last transaction is limited to 35 chars).

Expected behavior

• Instead of having every implementer find out the lengths and implement the limits, it would be nice, if the framework would truncate the fields which have a limit. If the implementer of the AccountSpi would like to have something better than a truncate he/she could always implement the limits in that special way before returning the value.

XS2A version(s):

• 5.1

Hello yves-bussard,

Currently it's indeed the responsibility of SPI implementation to adhere to length limitations and at the moment there is no plan to truncate responses from SPI, as it could lead to undesirable loss of data.

Hi Seregy,

Ok, thank you.
