Hello!

When persisting a String of length eg. 1024 to a varchar column with a length of e.g. 255 (the string does not fit into the column) this is silenty ignored. the string is just cut.

i'd like to be advised how to configure hibernate to either throw some exception or any other solution to give me the chance of an adequate handling.

I'm configuring hibernate via annotations and I'm using a proxied annotation-driven transaction manager
hibernate v.3.1.3
hibernate-annotations v.3.4.0.GA
hibernate-entitymanager v.3.4.0.GA
spring v.2.5.6
java 1.6.0_17
hsqldb v1.8.0

thanks!

Check out Hibernate Validator: http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/ ... e/en/html/
There is a built-in constraint @Length, that allows you to set min and max length of a string.
