I just configured my NHibValidator. My NHibernate creates the DB schema. When I set MaxLenght="20" to some property of a class then in the database the length appears in the database column. I am doing this in the NHibValidator xml file. But the problem is that I have components and cannot figure out how to achieve this behaviour. The component is configured correctly in the Customer.hbm.xml file.
EDIT: Well, I found that Hibernate Validator users had the same problem two years ago. http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-25 Is this an issue for NHibernate Validator or it is fixed. If it is working tell me how please.

public class Customer
{
public virtual string Name{get;set;}
public virtual Contact Contacts{ get; }
}

public class Contact
{
public virtual string Address{get;set;}
}

<property name="Contacts">

<valid/>

</class>

Well, this should be a bug. I posted this to NHibernate issue tracker.

UPDATE: the issue is solved.
