Enum Bug when using OK word inside of a enum being retrieved ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-6351 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6351 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: annotations Affects Versions: 3.6.5, 3.3.0.GA Environment: Hibernate version 3.3.0.GA, 3.6.5.Final with hibernate-annotations 3.4.0.GA. Oracle database. Reporter: Lucas Arruda Priority: Minor I have a class with a field which is an enum, which is mapped by a enum called Status. The class is described (simplified and without all annotations) above: public class A { private Status status; public enum Status { OK, NOK, NAP } @Column(name = "STATUS") @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING) public Status getStatus() { return status; } ... } The thing is. I can store a record from A with status = 'OK', 'NOK' or 'NAP' perfectly. But, when I try to retrieve that record, if status = 'NOK' or 'NAP' it works correctly, but no with status = 'OK', which gives me an exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown name value for enum class com.a.b.c.d.A$Status: OK at org.hibernate.type.EnumType.nullSafeGet(EnumType.java:113) ... Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum const class com.a.b.c.d.A$Status.OK at java.lang.Enum.valueOf(Enum.java:196) at org.hibernate.type.EnumType.nullSafeGet(EnumType.java:110) Reported a StackOverflow [1] and now one could solve this using 'OK' in the Enum. What I did to solve this, since I couldn't get I done with OK, was to change a little bit the enum with this, which works correctly: public enum Status { _OK("OK"), NOK("NOK"), NAP("NAP"); private String desc; public String getDesc() { return desc; } private Status(String desc) { this.desc = desc; } } Since I couldn't make it work with 'OK', I highly suspect it's either a big mistake by my part or a bug, so I'm reporting it.
