Enums can implement interfaces. You could add a new interface called
CayenneEnum or some such. Maybe something like:
public interface CayenneEnum<T>
{
public T getValue();
public Object fromValue(T value);
}
This isn't necessarily any more invasive than the rest of the framework.
Granted, now the user has to implement something, but that'd be a
requirement to implement value storage anyway.
