Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static ConfigurationSource 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

getPriority

public int getPriority()

Returns this sources priority. Can be used to determine which configuration shall apply in case of conflicting configurations by several providers.

Returns:

This source's priority.

max

public static ConfigurationSource max(ConfigurationSource a,
                                      ConfigurationSource b)

Returns that configuration source from the given two sources, which has the higher priority.

Parameters:

a - A configuration source.

b - Another configuration source.

Returns:

The source with the higher priority. Will be source a if both have the same priority.
