Hibernate version: 3.1rc2/Annotations 3.1beta6

Mapping documents:

public enum AllocationStatus implements StringValuedEnum {
UNALLOCATED("Unallocated"),
ALLOCATED("Allocated"),
SPLIT("Split"),
MERGED("Merged"),
MERGED_AND_SPLIT("Merged/Split"),
REJECTED("Rejected"),
//Values used for displaying in ComboBoxes
ALL("All"),
ALL_PROCESSED("All Processed");

private final String value;

AllocationStatus(final String value) {
this.value = value;
}

public String toString() {
return value;
}

public String getValue() {
return value;
}
}

Code between sessionFactory.openSession() and session.close():
Collection giveUps = query.getExecutableCriteria(session)
.setFetchMode("splits", FetchMode.JOIN)
.setFetchMode("customerAllocations", FetchMode.JOIN)
.setFetchMode("customerAllocations.allocation", FetchMode.JOIN)
.list();

Name and version of the database you are using: Sybase 12

I am using StringValuedEnum as defined in http://www.hibernate.org/273.html. The same code works under hibernate 3.05 with annotations 3.0beta2.

There is no need to implement StringValuedEnum for Hibernate annotations enum types.

It's actually Enum.valueOf() wich fails, wich is pure Java SE 5 API
The name() should be stored not something else.

I used this approach because I wanted to use names different to the value stored in the database column. Are you saying this is no longer necessary? Have any examples?

I still don't have a clue how to fix this. I cannot change my database columns to contain the names of my enums. I've gone down the StringValuedEnum route and now it seems I cannot upgrade to Hib 3.2 because of it.

Can ANYONE suggest how I can fix this? As mentioned before I cannot rename my Enum instances to the values in the database, as this would result in illegal variable names (e.g. "Merged/Split").

Is this functionality not being addressed by Hibernate due to compliance with the EJB spec?

implement a UserType and mapit with @Type
