Hi List,

I am doing my first steps using the JPA Identity Manager and everything works fine except one little thing.

When I try to use an Enum as RoleName to easily access these Names I am getting a ClassCastException. (not very surprising ;-) )

I think I have to extend the login-Method but I have no Idea how.
Can someone give me a hint how to do that or just explain me that using Enums is a dumb approach.

My Enum:

public enum RolleType {
        
        ADMIN  ("admin"),
        MANAGER ("manager"),
        SOMETHINGELSE ("something");
        
        private final String roleName;
        
        RolleTyp(String roleName) {
                this.roleName = RoleName;
        }
        
        public String getRoleName() {
                return RoleName;
        }
}

My Entity:

(...)
@RoleName
@Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
public RolleType getRoleName() {
        return roleName;
}
(...)

thanks

Nico
