Enum EnumType

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<EnumType>

    public enum EnumType
    extends Enum<EnumType>
    Defines mapping for enumerated types. The constants of this enumerated type specify how a persistent property or field of an enumerated type should be persisted.

      • ORDINAL

        public static final EnumType ORDINAL

      • values

        public static EnumType[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (EnumType c : EnumType.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static EnumType valueOf​(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null
