In Hibernate2, the problem of aliases that are too long is supposed to be solved by the Alias class. However, unless a max length is passed in it uses Integer.MAX_VALUE which is huge!

What is the best way to implement a max length if your database has a restriction? I could just change that default constructor but it seems like there ought to be something in the dialect or a properties setting that would work without recompiling the jar file.

Thanks for your help!

eh?? This is working AFAIK. Do you have some example of something that fails? Note that Alias is used for a variety of different things.

I apologize, it must have been fixed in a newer version than I had. I have been unable to reproduce the problem with Hibernate 2.1 Final.
