I use enums read-only .. I never needed to have the underlying value exposed to me, I just want constants of the same custom type the most frequent situation where I use them is when I need to pass in some kind of simple value but don't want to use int or String because I want both type-safety and a tight restriction on the possible values of the argument (my enums are always final too) perhaps you use them in combination with some kind of persistence framework ? I never did. -- Wouter ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
