Re: Enumeration Question

[Albert Lin]

This is because wsdl2java generates "typesafe enums" for each 
enumeration. Basically, rather than just creating a series of "static 
final" constants, it creates objects for each enumeration, which has a 
major advantage of preventing you from assigning an invalid value to an 
enumeration.

A good description of typesafe enums is here:

Enumerations using wsdl2java get created (in my opinion) brain-dead. Is
there a reason for (or a work around) the way that wsdl2java creates

static final parameters with names like Color._value1, Color._value2,
etc. rather than something that could be useful such as Color.RED,
Color.BLUE, etc.?
