@Entity
public class Process {

  private State state;

  public enum State {
    RUNNING("running"), STOPPED("stopped"), PAUSED("paused");

    private String value;

    private State(String value) {
      this.value = value;
    }

    @JsonValue
    public String getValue() {
      return this.value;
    }

    @JsonCreator
    public static State create(String val) {
      State[] states = State.values();
      for (State state : states) {
        if (state.getValue().equalsIgnoreCase(val)) {
          return state;
        }
      }
      return STOPPED;
    }
  }
