Confused about MappedEnum

[Channing Walton]

Hi,
I'm having a problem with MappedEnums.

Here is my enumeration:

object WatchingState extends Enumeration {
val RequestedInfo = Value(1, "Requested Info")
...
}

My mapper has:

object state extends MappedEnum(this, WatchingState)

I want to do this:

val w:WatchingState.type#Value = mapper.state.is

I got the .type#Value thing from
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2364555/referring-to-a-enumeration-value-type-in-a-method-signature

but the compiler says non:

[error] /Users/channing/Code/work/workspace-3.5/cmiex/web/src/main/
scala/com/cmiex/web/model/User.scala:64: type mismatch;
[error] found : com.cmiex.web.model.WatchingState#Value
[error] required: com.cmiex.web.model.WatchingState.Value
[error] val w:WatchingState.type#Value = mapper.state.is
[error] ^

So I tried this:
val w:WatchingState#Value = mapper.state.is

But no:

[error] /Users/channing/Code/work/workspace-3.5/cmiex/web/src/main/
scala/com/cmiex/web/model/User.scala:64: not found: type WatchingState
[error] val w:WatchingState#Value = mapper.state.is
[error] ^

and this:

val w:WatchingState.Value = mapper.state.is

Nope:

[error] /Users/channing/Code/work/workspace-3.5/cmiex/web/src/main/
scala/com/cmiex/web/model/User.scala:64: type mismatch;
[error] found : com.cmiex.web.model.WatchingState#Value
[error] required: com.cmiex.web.model.WatchingState.Value
[error] val w:WatchingState.Value = mapper.state.is
[error] ^

Completely stumped, what am I doing wrong.

redefine WatchingState like this:

object state extends MappedEnum[YourMapperTypeHere, WatchingState.type](this, WatchingState)

adding type parameters and it should work.
