Mapping a JAX-RS enum with @XmlEnumValue

Question

I'm trying to map this JSON :

{"ref":"code","type":"desc"}

With those JAX-RS classes :

public class Sorting {
    public String ref;
    public SortingType type;
}
@XmlType
@XmlEnum
public enum SortingType {
    @XmlEnumValue("asc")
    ASCENDING,
    @XmlEnumValue("desc")
    DESCENDING;
}

With this I have that error (I'm using JBoss EAP 6.2):

Caused by: org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException: Can not construct instance of com.mycompany.myproject.SortingType from String value 'desc': value not one of declared Enum instance names
 at [Source: org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream@76e7449; line: 1, column: 47] (through reference chain: com.mycompany.myproject.Sorting["type"])
    at org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException.from(JsonMappingException.java:163)

By looking at the documentation, I've also tried that definition without any success:

@XmlType
@XmlEnum
public enum SortingType {
    @XmlEnumValue("asc")
    ASCENDING("asc"),
    @XmlEnumValue("desc")
    DESCENDING("desc");

    private String code;

    SortingType(String code) {
    this.code = code;
    }
}

Answer 1

I used that ugly code waiting a better answer:

@XmlEnum
public enum SortingType {
    @XmlEnumValue("asc")
    ASCENDING,
    @XmlEnumValue("desc")
    DESCENDING;

    private static Map<String, SortingType> sortingTypeByValue = new HashMap<>();
    private static Map<SortingType, String> valueBySortingType = new HashMap<>();
    static {
        SortingType[] enumConstants = SortingType.class.getEnumConstants();
        for (SortingType sortingType : enumConstants) {
            try {
                String value = SortingType.class.getField(sortingType.name()).getAnnotation(XmlEnumValue.class).value();
                sortingTypeByValue.put(value, sortingType);
                valueBySortingType.put(sortingType, value);
            } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
                throw new IllegalStateException(e);
            }
        }
    }

    @JsonCreator
    public static SortingType create(String value) {
        return sortingTypeByValue.get(value);
    }

    @JsonValue
    public String getValue() {
        return valueBySortingType.get(this);
    }
}
