JSF: How to access from a Facelet an enum declared in the Managed Bean

Enum (TYPE.java):

public enum TYPE {
 TYPE_A,
 TYPE_B;

 //...
}

Managed Bean (FooBean.java):

public void init(TYPE type) {
  //...
}

Facelet:

<f:metadata>
   <f:event type="preRenderView" listener="#{fooBean.init('TYPE_A')}"/>
</f:metadata>
