specifying length of binary field in hibernate-prefs.properties

Hi All,

This question's just a simple case of syntax, I hope.

In my hibernate-prefs.properties I map a bytea column to a binary type 
for my hibernate mapping generation:-

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hibernate.tables.upload.columns.data.java-name=data
hibernate.tables.upload.columns.data.java-type=binary
hibernate.tables.upload.columns.data.length=10024
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had hoped that setting something like the above '...data.length' would 
suffice.
Unfortunately, on generation of the hibernate mapping xml files, 
Middlegen will always produce the following:-

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<property name="data" type="binary" column="data" length="-1">
    <meta attribute="field-description">
           @hibernate.property
            column="data"
            length="-1"
    </meta>   
</property>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can replace this with an ant regex task, but some of the binary field 
lengths will differ in size.
So, how do I set the length of the generated binary length attribute 
*without* manually editing the hibernate mappings afterwards?

Many thanks in advance,

James.
