Get an enum based on a number

Question

Hi,
Consider the following enum declaration:
public enum MyEnum {
        STATE1 (1),
        STATE2 (2),
        STATE3 (3),
        private final int id;
        MyEnum (Integer id) { this.id = id; }
        public itn getId() { return id; }
    };I use this enum to persist the object state in the database. Actually I use the id value. But now I would like to read this column from the database and turn this value back to an enum. I couldn't find a straight way to do that. Is that possible or, maybe the question should take other direction, is that compliant to the concept of enums?
Thanks!

Answer 1

Thanks for the answers.
Unfortunately I must use the id as I can't touch de database schemma. Another problem is that the id does not correspond to the enum position, so, the suggestion of using enum.values won't work either. My real enum looks like
public enum MyEnum {
        STATE1 (14),
        STATE2 (22),
        STATE3 (37),
......So, the first index corresponds to the id 14. I would like to read 14 from the database and get MyEnum.STATE1
