Instanceof + enumeration - can I use it this way?

Question

I use GWT. This framework allows to transfer Java objects from server (Java) to client (JavaScript) and back.
So, the problem is:
On the server-side comes ArrayList with Objects (classes: Hat, Glove, Food,Medicine) .
All these classes are subclasses of GameItem.
Hat, Glove are subclasses of Cloth.
Cloth is also the subclass of GameItem.
So, inheritance looks like:
GameItem-> children:(*Cloth,* Food, Medicine)
Cloth->children:(Hat,Glove)
Server-side has enumeration:
public enum CreatureGameItems {
    CreaturesClothes("clothes",new ru.gamedev.client.gameitem.Cloth().getClass()),
    CreaturesWeapon("weapon",new ru.gamedev.client.gameitem.Weapon().getClass()),
    CreatureToy("toys",new ru.gamedev.client.gameitem.Toy().getClass());
    CreatureGameItems(String itemName,Class javaClassOfItem){
        this.itemName = itemName;
        this.classOfItem = javaClassOfItem;
    private String itemName;   //keeps id of GameItemType
    private Class classOfItem;
    public String getItemName(){
        return this.itemName;
    public Class getStoredClass(){
        return classOfItem;
} As you can see, my enum returns String value and Class associated with the member of enum.
I want to do this thing:
public boolean buySelectedGameItems(ArrayList<GameItem> inputList, int userId){
       System.out.println("BUYING ITEMS");
       for(int i=0; i<inputList.size(); i++){                       //go through all items
           for(CreatureGameItems c: CreatureGameItems.values()){    //go through all Items
               if( (inputList.get(i) instanceof c.getStoredClass()) ){  //PAY ATTENTION TO THIS CODE LINE
                   System.out.println("item::: " + inputList.get(i).getClass() + "::: class ::: " + c.getStoredClass());
           }//CreatureGameItems
       }//i
       //&#1083;&#1091;&#1095;&#1096;&#1077; &#1087;&#1086;&#1083;&#1091;&#1095;&#1072;&#1090;&#1100; &#1086;&#1089;&#1090;&#1072;&#1090;&#1086;&#1082; &#1089;&#1095;&#1077;&#1090;&#1072; &#1087;&#1086;&#1083;&#1100;&#1079;&#1086;&#1074;&#1072;&#1090;&#1077;&#1083;&#1103; &#1080; &#1074;&#1086;&#1079;&#1074;&#1088;&#1072;&#1097;&#1072;&#1090;&#1100; &#1077;&#1075;&#1086;. &#1045;&#1089;&#1083;&#1080; &#1089; &#1074;&#1086;&#1079;&#1074;&#1088;&#1072;&#1090;&#1086;&#1084; &#1086;&#1073;&#1083;&#1086;&#1084;, &#1074;&#1099;&#1082;&#1080;&#1076;&#1086;&#1074;&#1072;&#1090;&#1100; &#1074;&#1089;&#1077; &#1085;&#1072;&#1093;&#1077;&#1088;
       return true;
   }I go through input Arraylist and my enum members. If I find equality between member and ArrayList object, I want to perform dome actions.
I get such error: *")" expected*
I understand, that my code is not right, but can I correct it and use enum

Answer 1

I found solution:
for(int i=0; i<inputList.size(); i++){                      
           for(CreatureGameItems c: CreatureGameItems.values()){   
               if(inputList.get(i).getClass() == (c.getStoredClass()) ){//check strict equality between classes
                   //perform my action
                   break;
               if(inputList.get(i) instanceof Cloth) { //get children of Cloth class
                   //perform my action
                   break;
      }
