i try to find at run time the fully qualified type of the field type using reflection like the following.

if(! Modifier.isFinal(f.getModifiers()) && type.equals(Integer.class)){
                            f.set(clsObject, DefaultParamValuesEnum.INTEGER.getDefaultInt());

                    }

when i try like the following for enum it gives exception : 

else if(! Modifier.isFinal(f.getModifiers()) && type.equals(enum.class)){
                            f.set(clsObject,DefaultParamValuesEnum.LONGVALUE.getDefaultLong());  
                        }

following error i get:

Syntax error on token "enum", invalid

To check if a class is of enum type, simply use Class.isEnum()
