  1. POIs it possible to have an enum field in a class persisted with OrmLite?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to persist the following class with <a href="http://ormlite.sourceforge.net/" rel="noreferrer">OrmLite</a>:</p> <pre><code>public class Field { @DatabaseField(id = true) public String name; @DatabaseField(canBeNull = false) public FieldType type; ... } </code></pre> <p>The <code>FieldType</code> is a <code>public enum</code>. The field, corresponding to the <code>type</code> is string in SQLite (is doesn't support enums). When I try to use it, I get the following exception:</p> <pre><code>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 at org.springframework.dao.support.DaoSupport.afterPropertiesSet(DaoSupport.java:51) at orm.FieldDAO.getInstance(FieldDAO.java:17) at orm.Field.fromString(Field.java:23) at orm.Field.main(Field.java:38) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown field class class enums.FieldType for field FieldType:name=type,class=class orm.Field at com.j256.ormlite.field.FieldType.&lt;init&gt;(FieldType.java:54) at com.j256.ormlite.field.FieldType.createFieldType(FieldType.java:381) at com.j256.ormlite.table.DatabaseTableConfig.fromClass(DatabaseTableConfig.java:82) at com.j256.ormlite.dao.BaseJdbcDao.initDao(BaseJdbcDao.java:116) at org.springframework.dao.support.DaoSupport.afterPropertiesSet(DaoSupport.java:48) ... 3 more </code></pre> <p>So how do I tell OrmLite, values on the Java side are from an <code>enum</code>?</p>
 

Querying!

An individual column
