Is it feasible for OpenJPA to validate column names with metadata?

[KARR, DAVID (ATTCINW)]

If I specify a column name in my mappings that is incorrect, I get very
unhelpful error messages (like "size data unit" errors).  I'm not aware
of a capability in OpenJPA to validate column names and other things
using the database metadata.  Is that something that's in the realm of
possibilities, and something that might be reasonable as an enhancement?
