Description: Service has a String type and a ServiceType serviceType property which uses Strings again to identify the service type.
There is also a newer enum ServiceTypeCode, but to convert to the enum another factory needs to be used.

The model classes would be much simpler to use if that conversion is done in the persistency layer already and the enum becomes part of the model class.
We use a similar approach in CLB with the terms table and the EnumConverters]]>
