Advise: implementing custom picklists

[revanbhapri]

I want to implement the custom picklist on ds.xml files, below is the existing design

picklist table: consists of picklist names (EmployeeType)
picklist value table: consists picklist values (Manager, Suppervisor etc) and it has refernce with picklist table with foreign key

I want to implement a picklist field on ds file which is generalized to retrieve the defined picklist type

for e.g

Employee Type: <field> it should retrieve picklist values of "EmployeeType" picklist

Please suggest, how should I implement this using hibernate

Thanks
