Micronaut data and Enum fields in Entities

Does micronaut-data support enum fields?

I tried creating enum field resulted in error. Added type converter using Micronaut TypeConverter framework but still same error that it states

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void company.SyncRun.setStatus(java.lang.String)' where SyncRun.status is enum field which has converter like below.

@Factory
class TypeConverters {

  @Singleton
  fun syncStatusToString(): TypeConverter<SyncStatus, String> {
    return TypeConverter { value, targetType, context -> Optional.of(value.name) }
  }

  @Singleton
  fun stringToSyncStatus(): TypeConverter<String, SyncStatus> {
    return TypeConverter { value, targetType, context -> Optional.of(SyncStatus.valueOf(value)) }
  }
}
Solution

  • With JPA you should simply annotate the enum property with @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING).

    With JDBC it is working out of the box.
