[jira] Created: (TORQUE-75) Map XML column informations to the generated Objects

Map XML column informations to the generated Objects
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: TORQUE-75
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TORQUE-75
             Project: Torque
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Generator
            Reporter: Thoralf Rickert


There is a small leakage of informations between XML definition and the 
generated Object. 

For example if you define a column as required="true" it would be good to get 
this information in the object. So there could be a method like 
isMandatory(COLUMNNAME). One application for this could be generic analyzing of 
objects before saving to avoid SQL exceptions.

Other informations would be size, scale and description for example.

Of course we could retrieve this informations from the database but this means 
that we have to communicate with the database and there could be database 
specific inconsistency.
