I'll give it a shot, thanks. How would you use enums as roles added to the identity? Right now I'm using an enum but it expects strings, so instead of having a simple enum with just { ROLE1, ROLE2 }, I have to have a constructor and String property in the enum. I also must refer to it as myEnumEntry.getStringProperty() instead of just myEnumEntry. Is there any support for using enums as roles, or must I convert everything to a String before doing it? I figure enums could be a nice, clean, and simple way of doing this...? (An example of where enums are appropriate, no?)
