Annotation Type EnumValue

@Target(value=FIELD)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface EnumValue

Enables you to specify a value to use to persist for an enum value.

     public enum Status {
         @EnumValue("N")
         NEW,
         
         @EnumValue("A")
         ACTIVE,
         
         @EnumValue("I")
         INACTIVE,
     }
 
 

This is an alternative to using the JPA standard approach or Ebean's EnumMapping annotation.

Note that if all the EnumValue values are parsable as Integers then Ebean will persist and fetch them as integers - otherwise they will be persisted and fetched as strings.
