The problem of changing db / entity metadata requiring a second change in the 
ui is not new and has been around for ever and predates java.

However to make life easier just make a utility f(x) that will grab the entity 
and check for the field and see if it has a Hibernate annotation or your own 
custom annotation and get the appropriate metadata (length / precision etc  ) 
you need and then use it.

Maxlength and size both support EL. So you can do a 
size="#{fieldMetadata.sizeCalc('foo.class', 'field'}" instead of a " size="2".

You can use custom facelets to do the same thing.
