Does this not do what you need?

To elaborate on the flippant initial response, the reference provides a means to use the ordinal of the enum to map enumerations.

In this case it's actually simpler than it looks, because you are hosting the enums in a set, you need to provide an accessor for the WicketType to the sub-type of IntEnumUserType, the super-type will take care of mapping the ordinal to the instance.

package test;

public class WicketTypeState extends IntEnumUserType {
    private WicketType wicketType;

public WicketTypeState() {
    // we must give the values of the enum to the parent.
    super(WicketType.class, WicketType.values());
}

    public WicketType getWicketType() {
        return wicketType;
    }

    public void setWicketType(final WicketType wicketType) {
        this.wicketType = wicketType;
    }
}

Define the mappings for the enum table:

Then for the type with the set of enums, define a set mapping for that property:
