Is it possible to do type conversion (from boolean to yes_no) in pure JPA?

Question

There is an annotation in Hibernate that can persist boolean types as \'Y\'/\'N\' in the database.

Answer 1

Pure JPA without Hibernate is achieved by using some kind of conversion

private boolean enabled;

@Transient
public boolean isEnabled() {
    return this.enabled;
}
public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) {
    this.enabled = enabled;
}

@Column(name="ENABLED")
public String getEnabledAsString(){
    return enabled ? "Y" : "N";
}

public void setEnabledAsString(String enabled){
    this.enabled = "Y".equalsIgnoreCase(enabled);
}

Nothing else
