Is it possible to have an enum field in a class persisted with OrmLite?
- by htf
Hello. I'm trying to persist the following class with OrmLite:
public class Field {
@DatabaseField(id = true)
public String name;
@DatabaseField(canBeNull = false)
public FieldType type;
public Field() {
}
}
The FieldType is a public enum. The field, corresponding to the type is string in SQLite (is doesn't support enums). When I try to use it, I get the following exception:
INFO [main] (SingleConnectionDataSource.java:244) - Established shared JDBC Connection: org.sqlite.Conn@5224ee
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanInitializationException: Initialization of DAO failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown field class class enums.FieldType for field FieldType:name=type,class=class orm.Field

So how do I tell OrmLite, values on the Java side are from an enum?
