Enum SignatureUseType

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<SignatureUseType>

    public enum SignatureUseType
    extends Enum<SignatureUseType>
    This class defines enumerated use types for a Signature in a module. These give information on whether a signature is required in valid content. Applications will not create or modify SignatureUseTypes, but will use one of the predefined SignatureUseType instances MANDATORY, MANDATORY_IF_APPLICABLE, or OPTIONAL.

        public static final SignatureUseType MANDATORY
        Use type for a required signature
      • MANDATORY_IF_APPLICABLE

        public static final SignatureUseType MANDATORY_IF_APPLICABLE
        Use type for a conditionally required signature.
      • OPTIONAL

        public static final SignatureUseType OPTIONAL
        Use type for an optional signature.

    • Method Detail

      • values

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

        public static SignatureUseType 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
