Hi,

normally I use something like this



on a property, to enforce string mapping of the Enum.

But this doesn't seem to work on a EnumMap.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Greetings Michael

what do you mean by enummap?

Hi,

with EnumMap I mean
java.util.EnumMap<K,V>
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/j ... umMap.html

Which I can't declare diretly, cause Hibernate don't knows that. So I decalre it as e.g.:
Map<? extends Enum<?>, String>

and I wan't to ensure that the keys are mapped as Strings and not as int-values.

How can I annotate this?

By the way is it possible to change the default mapping of all Enum for all occurencies in any property, instead of using
on all properties?

Thanks a lot.

Greetings Michael

Interesting, can you open a JIRA issue, we need to figure out a way to express that, but I don't see an elegent solution today.

As for changing the default enum type, no we cannot, that would go against the JPA spec.

Hi,

first of all thanks for your quick reply.
JIRA is filed:
http://opensource.atlassian.com/project ... se/ANN-657
Hope this is ok so.

My last question was unclear.



What I was looking for is an annotation
for the key word


e.g.

which changes the default behavior for this enum for every property where I used that enum as property.
Is this also against JPA?
At least it would be more convenient if you can change the default and only have to change it, on properties where you don't want your own default type.

ah, that's interesting. can you post this idea to the JPA 2 expert group (can't remember the address though).

Also open a JIRA issue, an mark it with version: JPA 2 (there should be a version like that I think)

Hi,

I filed an subtask of my original JIRA.
http://opensource.atlassian.com/project ... se/ANN-658

I didn't find the JPA2 group either, but this isn't so important, cause it is just a convenience feature . Perhaps it will get there anyway through the JIRA.

Feel free to do so, if you want to submit this to the JPA2-Group.

Greetings Michael
