When using a doctrine writer, is there a way to take advantage of the doctrine annotations already there ?

// Doctrine entity class
/**
 * @var string
 *
 * @ORM\Column(type="string", length=150, nullable=false)
 * @Assert\NotBlank
 */
private $name;

So we don't have to redefine them in a ValidatorFilter.
Or do we have to use reflection to inject them into ValidatorFilters ?
