Hi All,

I've followed the example at https://community.jboss.org/wiki/Java5EnumUserType and have Enum types working great in @ManyToOne relationships. For example:

@Column(name = "VisaStatusId")
@Type(type = "com.starpoint.instihire.domain.hibernate.types.GenericEnumUserType", parameters = {
@org.hibernate.annotations.Parameter(name = "enumClass",
value = "com.starpoint.instihire.domain.jacket.VisaStatus")
})
public VisaStatus getVisaStatus() {
return visaStatus;
}


Works great.

Now I'm trying to map a ManyToMany and no matter what I try I get some form of error saying that the target class is not mapped.

I'm trying to remove the table PositionType and replace it with an enum. Working with a table this mapping works fine:

@ManyToMany()
@JoinTable(name = "JacketToPositionType",
joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "JacketId"),
inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "PositionTypeId"))
public Set<PositionType> getPositionTypes() {
return positionTypes;
}

When I try to add the @Type annotation I always get

Caused by: org.hibernate.AnnotationException: Use of @OneToMany or @ManyToMany targeting an unmapped class: com.starpoint.instihire.domain.jacket.Jacket.positionTypes[com.starpoint.instihire.domain.jacket.PositionType]


Is what I'm trying to do possible? Or should I stick with the working tables?

Thanks
Tony
