Enum PrimitiveDefCategory

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<PrimitiveDefCategory>
    public enum PrimitiveDefCategory
extends Enum<PrimitiveDefCategory>
implements Serializable
    This enumeration defines the list of open metadata primitive types. This includes a code value, a string name for the type (used in self describing structures such as JSON or XML) and the name of the Java Class that supports this type.

    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static PrimitiveDefCategory[] 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 (PrimitiveDefCategory c : PrimitiveDefCategory.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

      • valueOf

        public static PrimitiveDefCategory 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

      • getOrdinal

        public int getOrdinal()
        Return the numeric code for the primitive type which can be used in optimized data flows.
        Returns:
        int type code

      • getName

        public String getName()
        Return the name of type which can be used for text-based interchange formats such as JSON or XML.
        Returns:
        String type name

      • getJavaClassName

        public String getJavaClassName()
        Return the name of the java class that can be used to store properties of this type.
        Returns:
        String java class name.

      • getGUID

        public String getGUID()
        Return the guid for this primitive type.
        Returns:
        String guid
