Hibernate Enum mapping using annotaions

Question

I have an existing database that I am now connecting to using hibernate. I cannot change the data in it at the moment and have everything working apart from a single column

Answer 1

If you can use a SQL UPPER statement at database, It will work without using any UserType

UPDATE

Well, It can not be The nicest solution but it solves what you want

@Entity
public class WrapperEntity {

   private TeamMemberStatus memberStatus;

   @Transient
   private TeamMemberStatus getMemberStatus() {
       return this.memberStatus;
   }

   public void setMemberStatus(TeamMemberStatus memberStatus) {
       this.memberStatus = memberStatus;
   }

   @Column(name="STATUS", nullable=false, length=50)
   public String getMemberStatusAsString() {
       return memberStatus.name().toLowerCase();
   }

   public void setMemberStatusAsString(String memberStatus) {
       this.setsetMemberStatus(TeamMemberStatus.valueOf(memberStatus.toUpperCase()));
   }

}
