Annotation Type Length

  • @Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target(FIELD)
public @interface Length
    A non-JPA standard alternative to using @Column(length).

    We would typically set the length of a varchar column using @Column(length) or via javax validation @Size(max) annotations.

    In Kotlin we tend NOT to use the @Size(max) annotation as it has more targets (including parameter) and so when beans are written in Kotlin constructor form the @Size is not read as a mapping.

    So it is generally not ideal to use this non-standard JPA annotation but some may prefer it style wise - especially with Kotlin.
