It is possibile to execute an hql query to retrieve the name of "enumerated" entity column, stored in the db as "ordinal"..
Example:
@Entity
@Table(name = "someentity", schema = "someschema")
public class Someentity{
[...]

@Column(name = "enumcol")
@Enumerated(EnumType.ORDINAL)
public enumTypeXX getEnumcol() {
return this.enumcol;
}

public void setEnumcol(enumTypeXX enumcol) {
this.enumcol = enumcol;
}
[...]

}


in the query I need to get the name of the ordinal value stored in the db, something like:

select someentity.enumcol.name from Someentity someentity

but name property seems to be not available in hql queries...
