No, I'm talking about when the enum is in a collection.
i.e.
Private HashSet<Gender> genders=new HashSet<Gender>();
So no, either the @Enumerated helps, nor does calling name() or toString
as neither are possible.
I'm storing a Collection of enums , not a single Enum.
There seems to be no examples of this nor any documentation about the
ability to do this that I can find. The default seems to use the ordinal
value both for table generation and storage value.
