Should LiteralExpression support Enum?
by Guillaume Smet
Hi,
We had an interesting test case posted this week-end, namely
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/2562/files .
Apparently, enums as result of case expressions were (sort of) supported in
5.1, whereas they are not anymore in 5.3: you end up with a NPE.
The issue is that we don't have a ValueHandler for enums and thus the
handler in
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/blob/master/hibernate-core/src...
is null.
Not sure if it's something we should support tbh. I mean you can use the
name of the enum instead and I think it would be good enough.
But even if we decide to not support it, I think we should probably provide
a better error than a NPE.
Thoughts?
