how to save enum value to DB with Hibernate?

You can add following enumeration, to indicate you want the String representation to be persisted :

@Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)private ApartmentState apartmentState;

java mysql database hibernate enums

Use this annotation at field level:

@Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)

I also had to add

@Embeddable to the java enum

@Embeddable public enum ApartmentState {        FREE, REQUESTED, BOOKED, LIVED, CLEANING, PROCESSING    }
