Trying to simplify access to a legacy Lookup Table

sample.groovy

//Usage sample
SomeLegacyStatus active = SomeLegacyStatus.ACTIVE

SomeLegacyStatus.groovy

package org.some.package

class SomeLegacyStatus {

    enum Status {
        NONE,
        ACTIVE,
        PENDING,
        SUSPENDED,
        BANNED,
        INACTIVE,
        DEACTIVATED
    }
    static {
       addEnumGettersToMetaClass()
    }

    /** */
    String name
    /** */
    String desc

    static constraints = {
        name(blank: false, size: 1..64)
        desc(nullable: true, size: 0..255)
    }

    static mapping = {
        table 'status_lookup'
        version false
        id generator: 'assigned', column: 'status_lookup_id'
        name column: 'status_lookup_name'
        desc column: 'status_lookup_desc'
        cache usage: 'read-only'
    }

    private static addEnumGettersToMetaClass() {
        for (Status status: SomeLegacyStatus.Status.enumConstants) {
            SomeLegacyStatus.metaClass.static."get${status.name()}" = {
                SomeLegacyStatus.read(status.ordinal())
            }
        }
    }
}
