Question

I have a DB table with a column with fieldtype INT, i want to map it to an EJB (Java Object), and use an Enum instead of int for that column/field. Is it possible to do it?

Answer 1

Enums can mapped by there ordinal or name.

(Default Mapping is ordinal.)

enum Demo{ A, B};

@Entity
class MyEntity {
   @Enumerated(EnumType.ORDINAL)
   private Demo demo;
}

So you can map an Enum to an integer Column.
