How to set value to UserType property in my entity

Hibernate version: 2.1.7

I read Hibernate in Action, it introduced us a new way to implement safe enumeration. but I still can't understand how to implement the logic to set value to my UserType entity.

for exemple,
A enumeration,

Code:

public class MyType implements Serializable {
   ...
}

A UserType implementation,

Code:

public class MyUserType implements UserType {
   ...
   public Class returnedClass() { return MyType.class; };
   ...
}

A Entity,

Code:

public class MyEntity {
   ...
   private Long id;
   private MyUserType myUserType;
   ...
}

As the example, how do I set the value to myUserType property in MyEntity?
What I means is that MyUserType is not an enumeration, how do I reflect the value user wanted to myUserType?

Code:

public class MyEntity {
   ...
   private Long id;
   private MyType myType;
   ...
} 

<class name="MyEntity"...>
  <property name="myType" type="full.package.MyUserType"/>
...
</class>
