[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HHH-5475) allow for a usertype delegate for org.hibernate.type.EnumType

allow for a usertype delegate for org.hibernate.type.EnumType ------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-5475 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5475 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: New Feature Components: annotations, core Affects Versions: 3.3.1, 3.5.4 Reporter: Jürgen Attachments: EnumType.java, EnumType.java I use a custom UserType to right-trim CHAR columns in a legacy DB2, which returns CHAR columns right space padded. Now I would like map such a column to a Enum, which fails using @Enumerated (org.hibernate.type.EnumType) due to the fact that DB column values with right pad spaces do not match enum names. I would like to request the a EnumType that allows to inject/delegate to a UserType. (db column + UserType = java object toString()-able or Numeric) + EnumType = Enum Of course one could always define a UserType doing triming + enum conversion but would be nice to make it pluggable I added a workaround delegated EnumType that uses some dirty stuff to handle the described process, including reflection and implementing stubs for ResultSet + PreparedStatement (thats why the Class is so huge, the real logic is quite small)
