I have a table with a `status: varchar` column. Java entity class has property:



That fails. But it works if I move the `@Enumerated` annotation to the private field, instead of the getter. Is that expected behavior?

The error when the annotation is on the getter: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Bad value for type int : ENABLED

I stepped through code and can see it's treating the enum property as if it didn't have the `@Enumerated` and it's defaulting to `EnumType.ORDINAL`.

I thought it was acceptable, or even preferred, to put the annotations on the getters, not the fields.

2. You leave the @Id on the field, but use the @Access annotation:
