Nicolas Berthet commented on ANN-657:
-------------------------------------

Hello,

I had the same using an ORDINAL as a @ManyToMany map key. Using hibernate tools, the column was declared as a bytea (pgsql).

The workaround I found is to manually map the key, it should be fairly doable for STRINGs too...

@MapKey(columns = @Column(name = "my_column_name", nullable = false), type=@Type(type="org.hibernate.type.EnumType",parameters={@org.hibernate.annotations.Parameter(name="enumClass",value="my.enum.class.Name")}))
	
Anyway, it would be nice to get an annotation to fit this requirements as it was the case in the old version :)

> Hi, 
> I faced the problem, that I can't enforce a String-Mapping for an enum type key of an Map.
> E.g.:
> Map<? extends Enum<?>, String> 
> I would suppose to use an attribute for @MapKey to do that.
> E.g.: @MapKey (enumerated=EnumType.STRING)
> Please read the forum entry for  more informations.
