Re: [eclipselink-users] [OT]-ish Reading Annotation Data

["Vackar Afzal" <V.Z.Afzal@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not an expert in this area, but here's some pseudo code that should work

Class entityClass = entity.getClass();
Method m = c.getMethod("getter", typeOfVal.class);
Column annotation = m.getAnnotation(Column .class);
int len = annotation.intValue();

Give it a go and lemme know if it works.

Thanks,
Vackar

Is there a way of retrieving annotation data from an entity? Specifically I'm
using the @Column(length=) annotation in a Struts 2 web app. It would be
useful if I could read this data and use it to validate the incoming field
length and to use it on the result to set the width of the input field.

Regards
