Enum Constant Detail

rejected

public static final MappingState rejected

Mapping the entity to the symbol was rejected by some user/process. Such mappings MUST NOT be used in any application context other than some administrative interfaces.

proposed

public static final MappingState proposed

Indicated, that a mapping of the entity to the symbol is proposed. Such mappings still wait for some kind of confirmation to be fully established. Based on the application context it might already be OK to used them.

expired

public static final MappingState expired

This indicates that this mapping has expired. This indicated, that this mapping was once confirmed but now waits for some confirmation activity. Based on the application context it might still be OK to use mappings with that state.

confirmed

public static final MappingState confirmed

Indicated, that this mapping is fully valied and can be used in any application context

Method Detail

values

public static MappingState[] 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 (MappingState c : MappingState.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static MappingState 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

getUri

public String getUri()

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<MappingState>

getState

public static MappingState getState(String uri)
                             throws IllegalArgumentException

Getter for the State based on the URI.

Parameters:

uri - the URI

Returns:

the State

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the parsed URI does not represent a state

isState

public static boolean isState(String uri)
