Enum Constant Detail

ORDINAL

public static final EnumType ORDINAL

Persists enumeration values using their ordinal in the Enum declaration.

Note that this relies on the order of the values in source code, and will change if values are added/removed before existing ones.

STRING

public static final EnumType STRING

Persists enumeration values using the string they have been declared with.

Method Detail

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
