Hi list,
I'm new to this list, and actually quite new to hibernate too, so maybe this has been discussed or done before... I did not find a trace of it, though ;)
While looking for a way to persist my enums, I figured that the best way to go by now would be to
- use jdk1.5's enums
- have hibernate know about these.
Since there apparently isn't a native type for jdk1.5 enums yet, I started writing a UserType implementation for it. After some fiddling around, I came out with something that seems to be working, at least for me.
I did not implement it as a "native" hibernate type, simply because it's more convenient as a user to use UserType, so as to not have to keep up a parallel hibernate build... but I suppose it would be safer and/or stronger to have this implemented the "native" way.
Anyway, I wanted to share this with you guys, so if anyone's interested, you can find a zip file here with source and testcases:
https://swaf.dev.java.net/temp/swaf-tools-hibernate.zip
You can also view it on cvs here: https://swaf.dev.java.net/source/browse/swaf/swaf-tools/hibernate/
Of course, you'll need a jdk1.5 to build it.
Please let me know what you think.

ps: I'm actually wondering why the "native" Type and UserType interfaces are two different things?
