I am getting started with Hibernate, and I am getting the following error for an entity which is supposed to have an enum type.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum const class app.entity.ObjType.
java.lang.Enum.valueOf(Enum.java:214)
org.hibernate.type.EnumType.nullSafeGet(EnumType.java:125)
org.hibernate.type.CustomType.nullSafeGet(CustomType.java:109)
org.hibernate.type.AbstractType.hydrate(AbstractType.java:104)
org.hibernate.persister.entity.AbstractEntityPersister.hydrate(AbstractEntityPersister.java:2283)

I have the following enum type defined:
@Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
private ObjType type;

And the defined Enum class is as follows:

package app.entity;

public enum ObjType {
typeA,
typeB
}

What am I doing wrong? Also do set and get methods also have to be annotated with "@Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)" ?

I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
