[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - @Enumerated with non-ordinal enumeration

Given this enumeration: | public enum Gender { | | MALE ("M"), FEMALE ("F"); | | private String codeInDatabase; | | private Gender(String codeInDatabase) { | this.codeInDatabase = codeInDatabase; | } | | public String getCodeInDatabase() { | return codeInDatabase; | } | } and this fragment from my POJO: | @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING) | @Column(name = "gender") | public Gender getGender() { | return gender; | } | public void setGender(Gender gender) { | this.gender = gender; | } In the database the column "gender" contains the value M or F. When I query the pojo I get the following exception: javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: | Unknown name value for enum class com.company.enumeration.Gender: M Is this a bug? Or is using non-ordinal enumerations not possible at all? I'm using 4.0.5.GA with the EJB3 profile. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3993352#...
