Emmanuel Bernard commented on EJB-306:
--------------------------------------

Ah OK.
For your specific example, I think the future is more about exposing such data through Hibernate Validator @Length(32)
I hope this is the way the spec will go as well.

> Why don't we make available the underlying column length for the org.hibernate.type.StringType?
> This way, JPA flavored hibernate deployments can stick with the ClassMetadata interrogation approach and not have to be beleaguered  with having to have a separate Configuration instance just to get at this highly desirable and useful attribute!
