Enum Constant Details

STRING

public static final AttributeType STRING

The String type.

Attributes of this type should be stored as String, List<String> or String[] objects, depending on the cardinality value.

LONG

public static final AttributeType LONG

The Long type.

Attributes of this type should be stored as Long, List<Long> or long[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.

INTEGER

public static final AttributeType INTEGER

The Integer type.

Attributes of this type should be stored as Integer, List<Integer> or int[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.

SHORT

public static final AttributeType SHORT

The Short type.

Attributes of this type should be stored as Short, List<Short> or short[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.

CHARACTER

public static final AttributeType CHARACTER

The Character type.

Attributes of this type should be stored as Character, List<Character> or char[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.

BYTE

public static final AttributeType BYTE

The Byte type.

Attributes of this type should be stored as Byte, List<Byte> or byte[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.

DOUBLE

public static final AttributeType DOUBLE

The Double type.

Attributes of this type should be stored as Double, List<Double> or double[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.

FLOAT

public static final AttributeType FLOAT

The Float type.

Attributes of this type should be stored as Float, List<Float> or float[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.

BOOLEAN

public static final AttributeType BOOLEAN

The Boolean type.

Attributes of this type should be stored as Boolean, List<Boolean> or boolean[] objects depending on AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality.

PASSWORD

public static final AttributeType PASSWORD

The Password type.

Attributes of this type must be stored as String, List<String> or String[] objects depending on cardinality.

A Password must be treated as a String but the type can be used to disguise the information when displayed to a user to prevent it from being seen.

Method Details

values

public static AttributeType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static AttributeType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (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 class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<AttributeType>
