Spring’s @RequestParam with Enum

If you are using Spring Boot, this is the reason that you should not use WebMvcConfigurationSupport.

The best practice, you should implement interface org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter, and with annotation @Component. Then Spring Boot will auto load all Converter‘s bean. Spring Boot code

@Component
public class GenderEnumConverter implements Converter<String, GenderEnum> {
    @Override
    public GenderEnum convert(String value) {
        return GenderEnum.of(Integer.valueOf(value));
    }
}
