Querying on enum's method in Hiberate Criteria API

Question

I have an @Entity which has an @Enumerated field mapped to it:

@Entity
@Table
public class Device implements Serializable {

    @I         


        

Answer 1

You have anotated it as

@Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)

this will store the name of the enum. Your db column will have either "MOBILE" or "EMAIL" but not 'true' or 'false'. you can change your query to

 return factory.getCurrentSession().createCriteria(Device.class).
   add(Restrictions.eq("typeOfDevice", DeviceType.MOBILE)).list();

Its more reable isn't?
