Enum CompositionType

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Enum<CompositionType>
      org.hibernate.validator.constraints.CompositionType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<CompositionType>

public enum CompositionType
extends Enum<CompositionType>

The Enum CompositionType which is used as argument to the annotation ConstraintComposition.

Enum Constant Summary

ALL_FALSE
ALL_FALSE is a generalisation of the usual NOT operator, which is applied to a list of conditions rather than just one element.

AND
Used to indicate the conjunction of all the constraints it is applied to.

OR
Used to indicate the disjunction of all constraints it is applied to.

Method Summary

static CompositionType	valueOf(String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static CompositionType[]	values() Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

OR

public static final CompositionType OR

Used to indicate the disjunction of all constraints it is applied to.

AND

public static final CompositionType AND

Used to indicate the conjunction of all the constraints it is applied to.

ALL_FALSE

public static final CompositionType ALL_FALSE

ALL_FALSE is a generalisation of the usual NOT operator, which is applied to a list of conditions rather than just one element. When the annotation it is used on is composed of a single constraint annotation, then it is equivalent to NOT.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static CompositionType 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
