List of enum types is possible?

[ajaleo]

Hi all!

I'd like to know if it's possible to have an entity with a field that is a list of a enumeration type. I've been using entities with enumerated fields but all of theme has a multiplicity of one.

When I try to deploy I get this error:

 Reason: org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not determine type for: java.util.List, for columns: [org.hibernate.mapp
ing.Column(usos)]

My field is

@Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
 private List<UsoAeropuerto> usos;

This is the UsoAeropuerto class

...
public enum UsoAeropuerto {
 DEPORTIVO,
 CIVIL,
 MILITAR
}

Thanks a lot!

I don't know about the annotations but I am currently trying this...

* @hibernate.list
* cascade="all-delete-orphan"
* lazy="true"
* table="Options"
* embed-xml="true"
* @hibernate.list-index
* column="listIndex"
* @hibernate.key
* column="ParentId"
* @hibernate.element
* ype="MyEnumUserType"
* column="myEnum"

which produced the following out of XDocLet:


<list table="Options" lazy="true" cascade="all-delete-orphan" name="enumProperty" embed-xml="true">

<list-index column="listIndex"/>



The trick appears to be using 'element' rather than one-to-many or some such mapping. It certainly produces the correct DDL.

Hope this helps,

stupid forum! It thinks its html...argh.

&lt;list table="Options" lazy="true" cascade="all-delete-orphan" name="myProperty" embed-xml="true"&gt;
&lt;key column="myEnumFieldname"/&gt;
&lt;list-index column="listIndex"/&gt;
&lt;element type="MyEnumUserType" column="option"/&gt;
&lt;/list&gt;

That should work better!

To get the forum to display what you want, surround your code with [ code ] ... [ /code ] brackets (without the spaces). Or select your code and click on the Code button above the edit text box (don't use the "Instant Reply" text box, lcick on Post Reply instead).
