Enum Constant Detail

POJO

public static final EntityMode POJO

The pojo entity mode describes an entity model made up of entity classes (loosely) following the java bean convention.

MAP

public static final EntityMode MAP

The dynamic-map entity mode describes an entity model defined using Map references.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static EntityMode 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

getExternalName

public String getExternalName()

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<EntityMode>

parse

public static EntityMode parse(String entityMode)

Legacy-style entity-mode name parsing. Case insensitive

Parameters:

entityMode - The entity mode name to evaluate

Returns:

The appropriate entity mode; null for incoming entityMode param is treated by returning POJO.
