I would like to know the recommended mechanism for doing field validations. I have seen the validate method on Validatable but my question is this: Hibernate knows which dialect I am using, it also knows the length of the string field in the DB (either we told it in the mapping or it knows the default for the dialect), is there no way, at the moment, that I can get Hibernate to validate my field lengths and throw an informational exception if I exceed them? I don't want to have to do dialect specific, hard coded checks in the validate method and I really don't want to do all the validation on the client side.
