I am not sure what you need is for the constant values, but the
typesafe enum design pattern does allow for efficient comparison.
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/Books/shiftintojava/page1.html#replaceenums
We have received requests to extend the typesafe enum pattern to associate
integer values with enumerators, for usage in switch statements. This
functionality definitely deserves future consideration.
There is one way to achieve the functionality you are requesting with
JAXB today (if you can update your schema.)
Schema derived constants are generated for fixed attributes in the schema
with the following customization enabled.
Setting <jaxb:globalBindings fixedAttributeAsConstantProperty="true ">specifies
that all fixed attributes should be bound to Java constants. By default, fixed
attributes are mapped to either a simple or collection property.
With the above customization, the following schema fragment:
<xsd:attribute name="country" type="xsd:NMTOKEN" fixed="US"/>
Maps to this Java representation.
static final String COUNTRY= USA ;
