JPA枚举类型作为数据库中的表

Question

So, my question is next. How can I map enum type in a database as a table. I want to have a table with values of my Enum.I want to have such structure in database: Model

And such structure of classes in code:

@Entity
public class MainEntity implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    @NotNull
    @Column
    private Integer id;

    @Column
    private Enum enum;

    @NotNull
    @Column
    private String any_other_attribute;

}
public enum Enum implements Serializable {
    First, Second, Third
}

See below link for the detail explanation of Enum with JPA http://tomee.apache.org/examples-trunk/jpa-enumerated/README.html

You can use Enumerated Annotation.

@Enumerated(EnumType.STRING) private Rating rating;
