----------------------------------------
Quote from the 2.0 spec javadoc of EnumConverter: "..casting it to a
java.lang.Enum and returning the result of calling the name() method.."
> EnumConverter uses toString() instead of name()

> Hi,
> I have an enum that has overridden the toString method.
> It seems the EnumConverter uses toString to convert an enum to a string (and
> Enum.valueOf(..) to find it back). However, since my toString is overriden,
> the value it returns is not valid input for the Enum.valueOf(..) function and
> the converter raises an exception.
> A better approach is to use .name() as string representation of an Enum.
