Hibernate version: 3.2
Name and version of the database you are using: H2 1.0.57

I have a number of objects in my model that use enumerations (both JDK5.0 and some JDK 1.4 Enumeration Patterns (ala Bloch and Simmons). What I would like to do is have hibernate create a table in the schema that contains the enumeration and has the values of the enumeration as rows with their ordinal values as primary key. Then I would have the enumeration stored in my tables as a foreign key to the table containing the enumeration values. This would allow me to make sure my database can not contain invalid enumeration values because of the foreign key constraints.

Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?
