Enum from SelectOneMenu not persisted

[olibutzki.oliver_libutzki.gmx.de]

Hi everyone,

I have problem persisting an enum type in the database after I have chosen it within a SelectOneMenu. The enum which is persisted always is null, although I selected a value.

My enum (shortened):

package com.example.util;

public enum Day{
     MONDAY(1, "Monday"), TUESDAY(2, "Tuesday"));

     private String ivLabel = null;
     private int ivOridinal = 0;


     private Day(int aOrdinal, String aLabel) {
          ivOridinal = aOrdinal;
          ivLabel = aLabel;
     }

     public String getLabel() {
          return ivLabel;
     }
     
     @Override
     public String toString() {
          return getLabel();
     }

     public int getOridinal() {
          return ivOridinal;
     }

}

My entity (shortened):

package com.example.entity;

@Entity
public class Time implements Serializable
{
     @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
     private Day ivDay;

     @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
     public Day getDay() {
          return ivDay;
     }

     public void setDay(Day aDay) {
          ivDay = aDay;
     }
}

My action bean (shortened):

package com.example.action;

@Name("MyAction")
public class MyAction
{
    @DataModel
    private List<Time> ivTimes;

     @Factory(value = "days")
     public Day[] getDays() {
        return Day.values();
     }
}

My xhtml-page (shortened):

<rich:dataTable id="editTable" var="item" value="#{ivTimes}">
           
     <rich:column>
          <f:facet name="header">
               <h:outputText value="Day"/>
          </f:facet>
          <h:selectOneMenu value="#{item.day}" id="day" required="false">
               <s:convertEnum />
                <s:selectItems hideNoSelectionLabel="true" value="#{MyAction.day}" var="day" label="#{day.label}"/>
          </h:selectOneMenu>
     </rich:column>
</rich:dataTable >

That's it. The values stored in the database for the attribute day are diplayed correctly, but after I have peristed my changes in the combo box all days are null in the database.

Does anyona have an diea?

Thank you so much in advance
