Enum Constant Summary

floating
floating point number

integer
whole number type, can be used for date/timestamp or other things

marker
no value type, the attribute itself is all that is needed

memberId
this is a reference to a subject in the grouper_members table

string
text

timestamp
timestamp stored in integer

Method Summary

abstract java.lang.Object	convertToObject(java.lang.Object theValue) convert from string to an object, e.g. from the string 12 to the integer 12

static AttributeDefValueType	valueOf(java.lang.String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static AttributeDefValueType	valueOfIgnoreCase(java.lang.String theString, boolean exceptionOnNull) do a case-insensitive matching

public static final AttributeDefValueType timestamp

timestamp stored in integer

string

public static final AttributeDefValueType string

text

floating

public static final AttributeDefValueType floating

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static AttributeDefValueType valueOf(java.lang.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:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

convertToObject

public abstract java.lang.Object convertToObject(java.lang.Object theValue)

convert from string to an object, e.g. from the string 12 to the integer 12

Parameters:

theValue -

Returns:

the object equivalent

hasValue

public abstract boolean hasValue()

if this type has a value

Returns:

true if value, false if not

valueOfIgnoreCase

public static AttributeDefValueType valueOfIgnoreCase(java.lang.String theString,
                                                      boolean exceptionOnNull)

do a case-insensitive matching

Parameters:

theString -

exceptionOnNull - will not allow null or blank entries

Returns:

the enum or null or exception if not found
