Would be great indeed!  This is the kind of code that one does not want
to see duplicated...

Has anyone managed to do something equivalent for a mapping to an int?
ie the ordinal may be?

Saving to the database is no issue but there are no equivalent to
Enum.valueOf(int...) and for some reason that I do not quite understand,
values() is not a method on Enum... How would one pass the enum to the
EnumUserType?

The problem is in 
    public Object nullSafeGet(ResultSet resultSet, String[] names,
Object owner) 
        throws HibernateException, SQLException { 
        Integer val = resultSet.getInt(names[0]); 
        E result = null; 
        if (!resultSet.wasNull()) {            
            for(E e : ****Class<E>****.values()) {
                if (e.ordinal() == val) {
                    return e;
                }
            }
        } 
        return result; 
    } 

How can we access .values()???

Any suggestion or solution?
Thanks
