【Hibernate】Hibernate如何映射枚举类型

问题：

Java BO类Gender是枚举类型，想在数据库中存成字符串格式，如何编写hbm.xml？

public enum Gender{	
  UNKNOWN("Unknown"), 
  MALE("Male"), 
  FEMALE("Female");
	
  private String key;
  private Gender(final String key) {
    this.key = key;
  }
  public getGender(String key) {
    for (Gender gender : Gender.values()) {
      if (key.euqals(gender.getKey()))
        return gender;            
    }
    throw new NoSuchElementException(key);
  }
}

使用UserType：

public class GenderUserType implements UserType {  

    private static int[] typeList = {  Types.VARCHAR};  

  /*
   * Return the SQL type codes for the columns mapped by this type. 
   * The codes are defined on <tt>java.sql.Types</tt>. */
  /**设置和Gender类的sex属性对应的字段的SQL类型 */ 
  public int[] sqlTypes() {
     return typeList;
  }

  /*The class returned by <tt>nullSafeGet()</tt>.*/
  /** 设置GenderUserType所映射的Java类：Gender类 */
  public Class returnedClass() {
     return Gender.class; 
  } 

  /** 指明Gender类是不可变类 */ 
  public boolean isMutable() {
     return false;
  }

  /*
  * Return a deep copy of the persistent state, stopping at entities and at
  * collections. It is not necessary to copy immutable objects, or null
  * values, in which case it is safe to simpl
