Problem
Earlier versions of LCDS did not handle Enum types passed from Java methods.
Solution
LCDS 2.6 can handle Java Enum types.
Detailed explanation
There is an amazing enhancment to LiveCycle Data Services. LiveCycle ES Data Services 2.6 supports Java enums. When serializing from Java, Data Services will transform the Java enum value into an ActionScript String. When serializing from ActionScript to Java, Data Services will assign the correct enum value to the corresponding Java attribute.
Adobe's technical enterprise team explained how Java Enums are handled in LCDS in their blog. Please find more details at the URL below.

There is an enhancment requests logged to this feature. It's worth having a look at those.
