Enum MatchCriteria

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<MatchCriteria>

    public enum MatchCriteria
    extends Enum<MatchCriteria>
    implements Serializable
    The MatchCriteria enum defines how the metadata instances in the metadata collection should be matched against the properties supplied on the search request.
    • ALL means all properties must match.
    • ANY means a match on any of properties is good enough.
    • NONE means return instances where none of the supplied properties match.

            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static MatchCriteria 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.

        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null
      • getOrdinal
