This seems to be the enumeration solution that I have been looking for and have set up my enum to follow this model. I am new to the enum concept and have a couple of questions that the tutorial didn't discuss.
First, where do I put the property tag reference for the enumClassName parameter? I am assuming applicationContext-resources.xml, but have had problems adding it there. The parser doesn't seem to like the mapping that I have added, complains about keyword 'type': <bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"> <property name='sex'> <type name="GenericEnumUserType"> org.appfuse.tutorial.model.Person </type> </property> Second, the getter and setter. I know this is typically straightforward, but with the enum object, name, and value, I wanted to make sure I have it set up properly. Since it is ultimately an int that is getting mapped to a database column, here is how I built them: private Sex sex; public int getSex() { return sex.toInt(); } public void setSex(Sex sex) { this.sex = sex; } Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Java-5-Enums-Tutorial-Question-tp16321427s2369p16321427.html Sent from the AppFuse - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
