There is an existing feature request for support for VARCHAR column types. In your case, however, I can't see why PersistentEnumType doesn't work.

If it really doesn't work, you can use a UserType, which is better anyway.

I'm not at all convinced that PersistentEnum is a good thing, and I don't want to add more interfaces.

Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: HB-411
    Summary: PersistentEnum differents from SMALLINT
       Type: Improvement

     Status: Closed
   Priority: Minor
 Resolution: REJECTED

    Project: Hibernate2

Environment: Windows XP, JDK 1.4.2

Description:
I have a database in which many enum types are present but many of them are not available as small integer types. They map legacy data or external specification data.
I think will be useful the implementation of a PersistentEnum interface support with types others than SMALLINT.
