Not sure how to limit the length of a string column in XML mapping... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2838 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2838 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Improvement Components: documentation Affects Versions: 3.2.5 Environment: Hibernate 3.2.0, MySQL Reporter: Colbert Philippe It's really not clear to me after reading the Hibernate documenation and the book "Java Persistence with Hibernate". How can I limit the length of a string column. It's not just properties that can be of type string; <map-key>, <element> and others can take type string. So when I am coding my class mapping in XML, and I run into some column (be it <property>, <map-key>, <element>), how can I limit the length of the string (length of the column in the XML mapping file?
