Annotation Type Length

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=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.
