I would just use a straight VO in that case. This is a ’static’ list of items. You don’t ever call new CloudTypeEnum(), you just access the static vars, which instantiate themselves as CloudTypeEnum objects.

What about if you wanted to use a value from a resource bundle to set value:String ? where would you initialize the resourceManager ?

eg new CloudTypeEnum( resourceManager.getString(”myBundle”, “NONE”), -1 );
