Yes, This is fully supported in ibatis. You will need to create a
CTH(custom type handler). There is a wiki post about this.

On a side note I would not suggest naming you enums like that. Other
people might get them confused with a method name. I would suggest
FULL CAPS for enum names. Just a good convention :)

Hi All!
I am need to this mailing ,a s a fact this is my first question
here ..
I am working on a project and would like to use ENUM as an
attribute on my
bean like this :
------------------ SAMPLE CODE ------------------------
public class Shipment implements Serializable{
enum ShipmentStatus{notShipped("Not Shiped"),
onTheWay("on the way"),
arrived("Arrived");
private String value;
ShipmentStatus(String newValue) {
value = newValue;
}
ShipmentStatus() {
value="NOT SPECIFIED";
}
String getShipmentStatus() { return value; }
}
private ShipmentStatus Status;
private Date departureDate;
private ShipmentStatus Status;
private Date ArivalDate;
etc .....
}
---------------------- END OF SAMPLE CODE
--------------------------------
I am working into IBATIS as I go ..., and would like to ask if this
way will
work with the mapping? Do I have to write a custom type handler?
I also have ac corresponding enum on database side (DB is mySQL) Has
anything like that been done yet? Is this a right way of doing it
or should
I just forget about ENUM and just use string?
Best regards
And thanks for creating such a great product
Levan.
