Mapping enum to database column using JPA/Hibernate You can use any of the 3 approaches discussed above. Map the enum to an integer column. The persistence implementation should automatically convert enum to ordinal() and back for you. Map the enum to a String column. The persistence implementation should automatically convert the enum value to String value via the name() function. Map the enum using a business value. You should mark the enum field as @Transient, and create another String field which you can map to a String column in your database table. Here’s an example code snippet. view plaincopy to clipboardprint?@Entity  public class Product {   @Column   private String colorValue;     @Transient   public Color getColor() {    return Color.fromValue(colorValue);   }     public void setColor(Color color) {    this.colorValue = color.toValue();   }  }  

Approach 3: Using a user defined business value – Recommended approach! This approach involves assigning a an explicit user defined value to each enum constant and defining a toValue() and fromValue() methods on the enum to do the serialization and deserialization.

public enum Color {   RED("RED"), GREEN("GREEN"), BLUE("BLUE"), UNKNOWN("UNKNOWN");     private final String value;     Color(String value) {     this.value = value;   }     public static Color fromValue(String value) {     if (value != null) {       for (Color color : values()) {         if (color.value.equals(value)) {           return color;         }       }     }       // you may return a default value     return getDefault();     // or throw an exception     // throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid color: " + value);   }     public String toValue() {     return value;   }     public static Color getDefault() {     return UNKNOWN;   }  }  public enum Color { RED("RED"), GREEN("GREEN"), BLUE("BLUE"), UNKNOWN("UNKNOWN"); private final String value; Color(String value) { this.value = value; } public static Color fromValue(String value) { if (value != null) { for (Color color : values()) { if (color.value.equals(value)) { return color; } } } // you may return a default value return getDefault(); // or throw an exception // throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid color: " + value); } public String toValue() { return value; } public static Color getDefault() { return UNKNOWN; } } This approach is better than approach 1 and approach 2 above. It neither depends on the order in which the enum constants are declared nor on the constant names.

Domain object instance security: In many applications it's desirable to define Access Control Lists (ACLs) for individual domain object instances. We provide a comprehensive ACL package with features including integer bit masking, permission inheritance (including blocking), an optimized JDBC-backed ACL repository, caching and a pluggable, interface-driven design.

OpenID Support: the web's emerging single sign-on standard (supported by Google, IBM, Sun, Yahoo and others) is also supported in Spring Security

Easy integration with existing databases: Our implementations have been designed to make it easy to use your existing authentication schema and data (without modification). Of course, you can also provide your own Data Access Object if you wish. Password encoding: Of course, passwords in your authentication repository need not be in plain text. We support both SHA and MD5 encoding, and also pluggable "salt" providers to maximise password security.
