I probably wouldn't go so far as to create a constant for it unless I
was expecting to change the constant sometime in the future but that's
just me. Not sure I'd recommend listening to me. :-D
I just remembered something that might help you. Patrick Lightbody wrote
a class called HibernateValidationMetadataProvider that's available in
StripesStuff. It extends DefaultValidationMetadataProvider to make use
of Hibernate annotations in Stripes validation so you wouldn't need to
include maxlength in @Validate.

JSR-303 is for validation annotations. IIRC the @Column(length=25) in
your example below will be picked up by Hibernate's JSR-303
implementation without you having to change anything.

I'm happy to see people finding Stripersist useful! Let me know if you
have any questions/concerns about it.
