accessing @length's 'max' value

[skanky78]

hi,

is there any chance to access the 'max' property of the hibernate length-validator via expression language or any other way?

example:

@Length(min = 5, max = 40)
private String name;

i want to use the given 'max' value from the annotation to restrict the input field via maxlength property:

input type="text" maxlength="#{xxxxxxxx.max}"

any ideas?

is this possible at all?

not afaik

ok, is there any other solution so that i have to define the max-value only once? can i set the max-value in the component through EL, so that i could use the same expression for my input attribute?

thanks in advance,
sven
