length attribute of mapping file

if have the following mapping file:

Code:

... <property name="xx" type="java.lang.String" length="100" ...

Is there a possibility to get the value for the length attribute via Hibernate (SessionFactory, MetaData etc.)?

no, it is not needed at SessionFactory runtime so are only available on the Configuration object

you mean use class Property. But there is no getLength() or somthing like that.

no, because it is actually on the column which is availble through the Value of a property.

Thanks:

Code:

Configuration ncf = ...;
PersistentClass pc = ncf.getClassMapping("dao.Car");
Property p = pc.getProperty("name");
Value v = p.getValue();
      
Iterator i = v.getColumnIterator();
Column c = (Column) i.next();
int length = c.getLength();
      
System.out.print(length);
