Enum BeanRuntimeInfo.Classification

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Enum<BeanRuntimeInfo.Classification>
      org.milyn.javabean.BeanRuntimeInfo.Classification

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<BeanRuntimeInfo.Classification>

Enclosing class:

BeanRuntimeInfo

public static enum BeanRuntimeInfo.Classification
extends Enum<BeanRuntimeInfo.Classification>

Bean type classification.

We maintain this classification enum because it helps us avoid performing instanceof checks, which are cheap when the instance being checked is an instanceof, but expensive if it's not.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static BeanRuntimeInfo.Classification 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
