As you can see, we can also place a description on a constraint, which can be used to
provide a customized error message to the JSF layer should the data fail to pass the con-

public enum SeatPosition {
ORCHESTRA("Orchestra", "orchestra"), BOX("Box", "box"),

with it. Earlier versions of JPA gave us two options to address it automatically (besides
