I am trying to use an enumartion class (class with Enumeration stereotype) with its attributes being numbers. I tried giving these number literals Integer type and then tried String Type but in both cases I get the following error during code generation:
CONTENTTYPE_TYPE_TC.java:57: <identifier> expected public static final CONTENTTYPE_TYPE_TC 10 = new CONTENTTYPE_TYPE_TC("10"); ^ CONTENTTYPE_TYPE_TC.java:62: <identifier> expected public static final CONTENTTYPE_TYPE_TC 56 = new CONTENTTYPE_TYPE_TC("56"); .... and so on. What I understand from this is that an numbers can't be used as identifiers. The whole purpose of what I am trying to do is to create LOOKUP TYPE CODES for which I am using enumeration here. I would appreciate if someone can point me to the right way to do this: _ is using enumeration classes with the attributes being numbers (with Integer or String types) is teh right way to do this? _ My application has a need for lookup tables of type codes where mostly there are two columns, a type_code and a description. Most of teh times I won't even use description columns and just use the type-codes. Other than using an enumeration class what else can I use? Your help is greatly appreciated.
