Hi,

I'm using the persistent enum approach that is most easily found on the web to persist a set of enums.

I have this done through an user type, like this:



I also have a specialized Hibernate user type called PersistableEnumType, for the various enums in my system. This must be used with a parameter.

I would like to use the generic PersistableEnumType to persist a set of Roles but I cannot because I can't pass the right parameter in when defining an element. This could be easily accomplished if <element> allowed for nested <type> entries, just like <property> does:



Thanks,
Mihai
