Hi Nick, As it happens I've just started down this road with Castor XML. The first stage to teach the Castor Java source API about the new Java 5 features is almost completed. http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CASTOR-1104
As regards your current approach, yes you may well be able to emulate the current generated enum classes by adding enum methods to your enum constants. Please let us know how you get on. Cheers, Andy. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Stuart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 May 2005 00:23 To: dev@castor.codehaus.org Subject: [castor-dev] Java 5 Enums Anyone have any ideas on how we might utilize the new Java 5 enumerator types? I really have no clear idea on how this might be achieved. I'm going to use enums in a new project, but I think I'll have a special function in the enum itself that will take a string/int or something and spit back the right value. Right at the moment I cant see any clear way to use them otherwise. -Nick The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.
