I would like to do a backport of [GEOS-10716] Build simple feature types schema using column descriptions if available ( https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/6315 ) to 2.21. Note that I plan on waiting until 2.22.0 has gone from RC to final released beforehand.
All of the settings for this feature default to off (in this case only turning on the comment feature in Oracle) and will result in no impact to previous installations.
Thanks,
Joe Miller
