[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HHH-4699) String mapped ENUMs can't be loaded from CHARs only VARCHARS (fix is trivial)

[Martijn Blankestijn (JIRA)]

Martijn Blankestijn updated HHH-4699:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: hibernate-4699.zip

Issue is still there.

I made a testproject with Hibernate 3.5.3 with DB2Dialect against a embedded Derby database. The behavior is the same with Derby database as it is with DB2.

The string is not trimmed so in this case with a char(7) column the enum-instance SMALL is not equivalent to the database value 'SMALL  '.

> 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.
