Enum support

Hi,

I am new to the tool. I was wondering whether there was any support for enumerated types (@Enumerated). I have looked throught the online documentation and topics in this forum but did not find anything on the topic.

Are enumerated types not supported?

Thanks, -Alex

Hi Alex,

Enumerations are not supported. I'll put it on my list.

I know this is the wrong forum for feature requests, but since this topic has been discussed here before I thought it would be ok to mention that I too would appreciate the support of Enums in persistent entities.

Hi Lars,

Yes I would very much like to have enumeration capability too. Is there something now?

The enumeration capability I would like to see it working as an attribute's type in a persistent class. Another capability is to be able to create a new enum just like we can create new classes and new interfaces.

Thanks,
Stephen

*BUMP*

Hey Lars, did you by any chance have the time and opportunity to work on the enum-support? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Sorry it took so long, but now I have tried it.
It seems to me that enumerations can be used already.
I tried this:

Code:

public enum Gender {
   MALE, FEMALE
}

And:

Attachment:

Enumerated.png [ 21.17 KB | Viewed 79 times ]

This worked in a unit test and I exported a schema that got 'gender varchar(255)'.
Without the tag, the schema got 'gender integer'.

Please let me know if anything else is needed.

Regards,
Lars
