      SEVERE: An exception occurred when accessing the storage services

      This is a result of the table definition:

      CREATE TABLE `xwikircs` (
        `XWR_DOCID` bigint(20) NOT NULL,
        `XWR_VERSION1` int(11) NOT NULL,
        `XWR_VERSION2` int(11) NOT NULL,
        `XWR_DATE` datetime NOT NULL,
        `XWR_COMMENT` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
        `XWR_AUTHOR` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
        `XWR_ISDIFF` bit(1) DEFAULT NULL,
        `XWR_PATCH` longtext,
        PRIMARY KEY (`XWR_DOCID`,`XWR_VERSION1`,`XWR_VERSION2`),
        KEY `REV_DATE` (`XWR_DATE`),
        KEY `REV_AUTHOR` (`XWR_AUTHOR`),
        KEY `REV_ISDIFF` (`XWR_ISDIFF`)
      ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8$$
      

      The XWR_COMMENT column is only 255 characters; however, xwiki is trying to assign to this column the text:

      	Added annotation on " <selected text>"
      

      Which can easily exceed 255 characters.

      Either the comments needs to be truncated, or the column should be defined as a CLOB.

      It turns out that the annotation is saved – when the page is reloaded, the text is highlighted and the annotation text is available.
