String mapped ENUMs can't be loaded from CHARs only VARCHARS (fix is trivial) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-4699 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4699 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.5 Environment: all Reporter: Pierce Wetter An enum persisted as a string to a CHAR column comes back with extra spaces appended, so then fails the Enum.valueOf() lookup. Fix is easy: Line 132 of EnumType.java, method nullSafeGet, change: return Enum.valueOf( enumClass, name ); to return Enum.valueOf( enumClass, name.trim() ); Which should be perfectly logical, because spaces are illegal in enum names anyways. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
