Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
JON 3.0.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a compatible group with a description that contains 101 characters or more:
      Desc: "A   very   long   description    with   a   total   length   of   one-hundred one   (101)  chracters."

Actual results:
Group creation fails with the following stack trace:

Expected results:
Group creation should succeed

Additional info:
This issue appears to be the database schema limits the group name to 100 characters. For a description, this is VERY SHORT. One normally expects to a description to be 1024 bytes or larger. At bare minimum, if we are going to limit this to 100 characters then we should perform data validation on the input to ensure it meets the database requirement.

This issue occurs in JON 3.0, JON 3.0.1, and JON 3.1.0.Beta1.

In JON 2.4.x the UI prevented the input of a group description that exceeded this limit.

As per 6/4/12 triage, target at jon311

Lets just add the limit back on this field

This issues needs another BZ and fix for the master branch
