[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/JPA-7?page=com.... ] Karsten Wutzke commented on JPA-7: ---------------------------------- I've just successfully used a Java ENUM in em.find(...) to find an entity whose PK contains an ENUM in its ID class. This enhancement may be obsolete.

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/JPA-7?page=com.... ] Karsten Wutzke commented on JPA-7: ---------------------------------- Honestly the test case attached isn't very good. It depends on Netbeans and doesn't come without a Netbeans-unspecific Ant script. Note from the code the test case uses only EnumType.ORDINAL whereas my confirmation was only about EnumType.STRING. I'll see what I can do to figure out.

NetBeans writes build scripts for you. If you prefer not to work on this level of integration you may want to hand-code a build script.

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/JPA-7?page=com.... ] Bernard commented on JPA-7: --------------------------- Karsten, you are missing the point of this issue which is the failure to map @Id @Enumerated(value = EnumType.ORDINAL) to a numeric field. You are cheating when you use EnumType.STRING. The testcase includes persistence.xml which creates the table via <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update"/>, so we don't need to hand-code DDL as you suggest. You would need to update your build script to reflect that. Successful table generation with the correct column type is part of the test - please read the description. You add an incomplete six Megabyte zip file where in comparison the tiny original 13kb testcase just works. I wonder where the garbage (as you say) really is?
