Sure... I store an int in the database that indicates the enumeration element's ordinal (zero indexed sequence number), and that's it... Straightforward and cool.

Which is I guess exactly what ERPrototypes automates for you, though I have not tried it...

Has anybody explored using java 1.5 enum type for an EO's property? Is there an easy way to do this?

For example, let's say I have a UserRequest EO and I wanted to have the following statuses:

        public enum Status { Draft, Ready, InProgress, Done };

How would the setStatus() and status() accessor methods should be written and how should the property be setup in the eomodel?

Or should I stick with using an Integer property and hard code the integer values for each status? :-)

Thanks,
Ricardo
