Hibernate 3 Parameterized type for mapping a Java 5 Enum.
This allows you to avoid the need to define a concrete UserType instance for every enum that you have. Just create a new typedef for each one, giving it a unique type name. Then reference this type name in the property tag. There may be other newer options available also, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1896666/adding-an-enum-as-a-class-property-in-hbm.
Example Mapping - inline <type> tag
<property name='suit'> <type name="EnumUserType"> <param name="enumClassName">com.company.project.Suit</param> </type> </property>
Example Mapping - using <typedef>
<typedef name="suit" class='EnumUserType'> <param name="enumClassName">com.company.project.Suit</param> </typedef> <class ...> <property name='suit' type='suit'/> </class>

Here is my version of this, it's an EnhancedUserType which means it can be used for an id or a discriminator

}Flexible solution
The version I like to present deals with various types of enum representations. It successfully handles int, long and string based enumeration patterns. The flexibilty is introduced by the identifierMethod and the valueOfMethod properties of the user type mapping - which are optional (check the code). Check out the JavaDoc comment for a simple example. If you find bugs or gaps, please drop me a line. I personally would also refactor the longer setParameters method, but this version is more compact.

/**
* Implements a generic enum user type identified / represented by a single identifier / column.
* <p><ul>
* <li>The enum type being represented by the certain user type must be set
* by using the 'enumClass' property.</li>
* <li>The identifier representing a enum value is retrieved by the identifierMethod.
* The name of the identifier method can be specified by the
* 'identifierMethod' property and by default the name() method is used.</li>
* <li>The identifier type is automatically determined by
* the return-type of the identifierMethod.</li>
* <li>The valueOfMethod is the name of the static factory method returning
* the enumeration object being represented by the given indentifier.
* The valueOfMethod's name can be specified by setting the 'valueOfMethod'
* property. The default valueOfMethod's name is 'valueOf'.</li>
* </p>
* <p>
* Example of an enum type represented by an int value:
* <code>
* public enum SimpleNumber {
* Unknown(-1), Zero(0), One(1), Two(2), Three(3);
* int value;
* protected SimpleNumber(int value) {
* this.value = value;
* }
*
* public int toInt() { return value; }
* public SimpleNumber fromInt(int value) {
* switch(value) {
* case 0: return Zero;
* case 1: return One;
* case 2: return Two;
* case 3: return Three;
* default:
* return Unknown;
* }
* }
* }
* </code>
* <p>
* The Mapping would look like this:
* <code>
* <typedef name="SimpleNumber" class="GenericEnumUserType">
* <param name="enumClass">SimpleNumber</param>
* <param name="identifierMethod">toInt</param>
* <param name="valueOfMethod">fromInt</param>
* </typedef>
* <class ...>
* ...
* <property name="number" column="number" type="SimpleNumber"/>
* </class>
* </code>

Flexible solution - working version
Even after applying the various recommended fixes from the comments, I still found that Martin Kersten's GenericEnumUserType had problems in some cases. After adding some additional tweaks I now have a version that seems to work great. Enjoy!
