[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (ANN-658) Annotation or the key word "enum" to change default behaviour to @Enumerated(value=EnumType.STRING) for all properties.

Christian Olsson commented on ANN-658:
--------------------------------------

Why not some mechanism to change the default behavior to EnumType.STRING globally? Then we would not have to annotate every Enum. I suppose this would have to be some xml configuration.

> At least it would be more convenient if you can change the default and only have to change it, on properties where you don't want your own default type.
