Ramsey: thanks for this. More thought on this.... I should frame this as two questions: how to adequately model a property as a java enum and how to use such a property via conventional and D2w components.
The former isn't clear cut AFAIK. In particular, I've been bitten by the bug (?) highlighted in this email: http://lists.apple.com/archives/webobjects-dev/2009/Nov/msg00380.html I only came across this when I managed to find out that I would need to use com.eldrix.MyClass$MyEnum rather than the dot notation. Am I missing done documentation on this or do I need to update the template file as suggested in that email? For the second issue, I see ERD2WEditToOneRelationship will handle this although I haven't quite got the hang on the possibleChoices binding and in particular trying to use the enum's own values getter. All hints gratefully received!
