  java.lang.Enum<PropertyState>
      org.spicefactory.pimento.io.PropertyState

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<PropertyState>

public enum PropertyState
extends Enum<PropertyState>

Represents the state of a property. Instances of this class are often included in entity snapshots instead of the actual values for the property, for example to represent lazy or inaccessible properties.

Enum Constant Summary

INACCESSIBLE
Represents a property value that is inaccessible, usually due to security constraints.

INITIALIZED
Represents a normal initialized property value.

LAZY
Represent a lazy association or collection that can be fetched in a separate request.

UNMODIFIED
Represents an unmodified property value.

Method Summary

static PropertyState	valueOf(String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.

Enum Constant Detail

INACCESSIBLE

public static final PropertyState INACCESSIBLE

Represents a property value that is inaccessible, usually due to security constraints.

LAZY

public static final PropertyState LAZY

Represent a lazy association or collection that can be fetched in a separate request.

INITIALIZED

public static final PropertyState INITIALIZED

Represents a normal initialized property value.

UNMODIFIED

public static final PropertyState UNMODIFIED

Represents an unmodified property value. Currently only used on the client side.

Method Detail

values

public static final PropertyState[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for(PropertyState c : PropertyState.values())
        System.out.println(c);

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static PropertyState 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
