I think this is just what you are looking for.

to directly support them, if not?

I have been forcing my enums (which represent valid values of certain
columns, e.g. status columns) to have a value(), e.g.:

    public enum Status {
        ...
        COMPLETE { public Integer value() { return 400; }},
        COMPLETE_WITH_WARNINGS { public Integer value() { return  
401; }};
        public abstract Integer value();
    }

...and then translating that before it gets to Ibatis, using value 
(). But
this is a little non-optimal.
