Description

Relates to https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/issues/4837

With the recent Change, the Enum Validation for API generated for Microservices is not working anymore.
The Spring AbstractNamedValueArgumentResolver -> StringToEnumConverterFactory is using Name Mapping (via Enum.valueOf) to parse an Enum on Validation.
With the Change, the Name and The Value of the Enum can differ, so a ServerInput Error is raised

Example

OAS3 Enum Value: B2C
Before the Change, the Enum Constant is generated like this: B2C
After the Change, it is: B2_C

The StringToEnumConverterFactory in Spring fails to map now a request &something=B2C while a request with &something=B2_C is passing

Research direction

Start by tracing Spring generator enum handling around AbstractNamedValueArgumentResolver and StringToEnumConverterFactory, using the related issue 4837 for context. Reproduce the generated Microservices case where OAS3 value B2C maps to constant B2_C, then verify that validation accepts B2C while preserving the generated enum naming.
