| Re: [eclipselink-users] How to store an ArrayList of Enum Values? |
In EclipseLink you could use a @BasicCollection for this. You would use a EnumTypeConverter to convert the Enum. This mapping uses a separate table to store the values. You could also just serialize the collection to a binary field, but this would not allow querying. You could also instead change the Enum to a class and make it an Entity and define a OneToMany or ManyToMany to it. t3_chris wrote: > > Hi! > > I'am heavily using constructs like this to store Enum Values to the > Database. > > @Column(name = "customer_status", nullable = false) > @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING) > private CustomerStatus status; > > Now, i am in need to store an ArrayList, or List or Collection of serveral > of those Enum Values. > Can this be done with EclipseLink 1.0 ? > > If yes, how? > > I need something like: > > @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING) > private ArrayList<CustomerStatus> customerStati; > > How should the databasetable be designed for such thing? > > > Best Regards, > christian > ----- --- http://wiki.eclipse.org/User:James.sutherland.oracle.com James Sutherland http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/ EclipseLink , http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/ TopLink Wiki: http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink EclipseLink , http://wiki.oracle.com/page/TopLink TopLink Forums: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=48 TopLink , http://www.nabble.com/EclipseLink-f26430.html EclipseLink Book: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Java_Persistence Java Persistence -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-store-an-ArrayList-of-Enum-Values--tp19051233p19069911.html Sent from the EclipseLink - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
