All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<LinkType>, Constable

Enum Constant Details

LAZY

public static final LinkType LAZY

Defines that the reference can be lazily loaded on access.

EXPLICIT

public static final LinkType EXPLICIT

Defines that the reference is loaded via explicit Linkable.link() call. The link() invocation must occur before an attempt is made to access the reference.

EAGER

public static final LinkType EAGER

Defines that the reference is eagerly loaded on change or during initialization.

Method Details

values

public static LinkType[] 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 LinkType 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
