copied!<p>After some investigation of the source code, i have discovered that the library uses interface <code>Transform</code> to transform values to Strings. The default behavior of enum transformations is defined by class <code>EnumTransform</code>. In order to customize that, you can define you own Transform class. The following version of <code>Transform</code> implementation would call <code>toString()</code> instead of the default <code>name()</code> on the enum objects.</p> <pre><code>class MyEnumTransform implements Transform<Enum> { private final Class type; public MyEnumTransform(Class type) { this.type = type; } public Enum read(String value) throws Exception { for (Object o : type.getEnumConstants()) { if (o.toString().equals(value)) { return (Enum) o; } } return null; } public String write(Enum value) throws Exception { return value.toString(); } } </code></pre> <p><code>Transform</code> objects are returned from <code>match</code> method by objects of <code>Matcher</code> interface. There could be several <code>Matcher</code> objects. The library tries them one by one until it finds one that returns a non-null <code>Transformer</code> object. You can define your own <code>Matcher</code> object and pass it as argument to the constructor of <code>Persister</code> class. This object will get the highest priority. </p> <pre><code>Persister serializer = new Persister(new Matcher() { public Transform match(Class type) throws Exception { if (type.isEnum()) { return new MyEnumTransform(type); } return null; } }); </code></pre> <p>Finally, you wont forget to define a toString method on your enum classes. Then the combination of codes above will do you the work of encoding enum objects using their toString values.</p>
