Title Body

As usual Java enum types have corresponding codes and name description. And Java classes that contain such fields, contain them as Enum: public enum MyEnum{ SOMEINSTANCE(1, "test1"), SOMEINSTANCE(2, "test2"); private final int code; private final String name; private MyEnum(int code, String name){ this.code = code; this.name = name; } ... helper getter for code and name } @Entity puclic class EnumHolder{ private MyEnum myEnum; } I'm a newbie to JPA, but I wish to have the ' myEnums ' table, looked like: code int not null, name varchar(50) not null) And in my enumHolder table I want to have the myEnumCode field that points to the myEnums table. Using currenlty supported both EnumType.ORDINAL and EnumType.STRING I suppose not a good idea. And another question. How can I fill in the myEnums table using Java MyEnum class data? How would you do it? The best approach please. PS: here are solutions I can offer: Let's suppose there is table myEnum with code and name fields . Java MyEnum enum, that is described in the question. enumHolder table need to have myEnumCode reference to myEnum.code field. Please comment the solution if you disagree. @Entity @Access(AccessType.FIELD) public class EnumHolder { @Id private int id; @Transient private MyEnum myEnum; … public int getId() { return id; } public void setId(int id) { this.id = id; } public MyEnum getMyEnum() { return MyEnum; } public void setMyEnum(MyEnum myEnum) { this.myEnum = myEnum; } @Access(AccessType.PROPERTY) @Column(name="myEnumCode") protected int getMyEnumForDb() { return myEnum.getCode(); } protected void setMyEnumForDb(int en
