Define available @UserPassword hash constants as an enumeration
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-3408
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3408
             Project: Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Security
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0.BETA1
            Reporter: Jacob Orshalick
            Priority: Optional


As specified in the documentation, the available hash algorithm string values are the strings: md5, sha.  There is also a value of "none" which is not specified in the documentation but avoids hashing the password all-together.  It would be nice to wrap these strings with an enumeration that holds the necessary String values for a bit more type-safety when using the annotation.  This would also help to make the options it a bit more clear from a user perspective.

The annotation could then be defined as:

@Target({METHOD,FIELD})
@Documented
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Inherited
public @interface UserPassword
{
   HashAlgorithm hash() default HashAlgorithm.MD5;
}
