Annotation Type Enumerated
@Target(value={METHOD,FIELD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface Enumerated
Specifies that a persistent property or field should be persisted
as a enumerated type. The Enumerated
annotation may
be used in conjunction with the Basic
annotation, or in
conjunction with the ElementCollection
annotation when the
element collection value is of basic type. If the enumerated type
is not specified or the Enumerated
annotation is not
used, the EnumType
value is assumed to be ORDINAL.
Example:
public enum EmployeeStatus {FULL_TIME, PART_TIME, CONTRACT}
public enum SalaryRate {JUNIOR, SENIOR, MANAGER, EXECUTIVE}
@Entity public class Employee {
public EmployeeStatus getStatus() {...}
...
@Enumerated(STRING)
public SalaryRate getPayScale() {...}
...
}
