Re: [Simple-support] A question about enum support

Hi,
Take a look at the org.simpleframework.xml.transform.Transform interface. You need to write a Transform implementation that will be used to convert your enums.
There are many examples in the test cases.

Hi, all

I want to change my XML parsing tool from JAXB to Simple XML recently, and I have a question about enum support.
In JAXB, there is an annotation "XMLEnumValue" to assign another value for the enum name. For example:


public enum Coin { 
    @XmlEnumValue("1") 
    PENNY(1),
    @XmlEnumValue("5")
    NICKEL(5),
    @XmlEnumValue("10")
    DIME(10),
    @XmlEnumValue("25")

    QUARTER(25)
}

public class Test {
    public Coin coin;
}

Test test = new Test();
test.coin = Coin.PENNY;

After serialization, the test object will be transferred to:
<test>

    <coin>1</coin>
</test>

Then I want to do the same thing using Simple XML, however, Simple XML doesn't have a similar annotation. and If I just define Coin like:
public enum Coin { 

    PENNY(1),
    NICKEL(5),
    DIME(10),
    QUARTER(25)
}

Then after serialization, the test object will be:
<test>
    <coin>PENNY</coin>
</test>

I want "1", not "PENNY", what shall I do?

Can simple XML do the similar thing, so I can use this feature?

I really need this feature, so I'd like to get help from all of you.

Thank you very much.

David
