Re: entity Qualifiers and enums

John, 

I have a java enum AccountType which implements ExtendedEnumeration. It has two values, 

DIGITAL_ACCOUNT("DIG_ACCOUNT"),
HD_ACCOUNT("HD_ACCOUNT");

 in the model, I have two objects   HDAccount, DIGAccount. Each are based on the same table in the database. 

In each there is a field, 
accountType who's type is set to the type of the enum listed above. 

java field         java type                                                  database field.
accountType   com.my.enum.package.AccountType     account_type

I want to set a qualifier on the table to allow me to differentiate the classes. 
I started out with accountType = "DIG_ACCOUNT";  and had problems casing from string to the enum. 
I set the qualifier to accountType = AccountType.DIGITAL_ACCOUNT. That seems to be solving the problem.  I got side tracked today by another incarnation of my previously discussed hikaricp/h2 bug. I think it's now completely purged from our testing code.

The other thing that bites me from time to time, is that we have our data model classes in a separate jar file. When you make changes to that and build from the command line, the related builds don't pick up the change unless you install it in the local repository.  Not a problem if I build from the root directory, but I don't always want to build everything. 

Thanks for your help. I think I have this all under control LOL as much as anything computing is every 'under control". ;-)
