Postgresql 8.3 ENUMS

[Ivan Bojer]

Does anyone know how to implement databasetype enums in ibatis (NOTE:
This is not the same as implementing Java enums!)
The problem is that IBatis does not know how to insert duplexMode
(typeof: String) into database's suplexMode(typeof: x.duplex_mode)!?

Here is configuration:

I have database schema like this:
--------------------------------------------

CREATE SCHEMA x;

CREATE TYPE x.duplex_mode AS ENUM (
    'Auto',
    'Full Duplex',
    'Half Duplex'
);

CREATE TABLE x.interface (
   ipaddr INET NOT NULL UNIQUE,
   duplexMode x.duplex_mode,
   id BIGSERIAL,
   PRIMARY KEY(id)
);

My IBatis descriptor like this:
---------------------------------------

<sqlMap namespace="Interfaces">

 <insert id="insertInterface" parameterClass="InterfaceBean">
   insert into x.interface (
       ipaddr, duplexMode
   ) values (
     inet(#ipAddr#),
     #duplexMode#
   )
 </insert>
</sqlMap>


My bean class like this:
-------------------------------

public class InterfaceBean {
       private int id;

       private String ipAddr;
       private String duplexMode;

       public InterfaceBean() {
               super();
       }

       <..all getters and setters...>
}

The problem is that IBatis does not know how to insert duplexMode
(typeof: String) into database's suplexMode(typeof: x.duplex_mode)!?
