Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static Integrity 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

isCheckedByApplication

public boolean isCheckedByApplication()

Returns whether integrity is checked on the application level.

Returns:

true if integrity is checked on the application level

isRelatedCheckedByDatabase

public boolean isRelatedCheckedByDatabase()

Returns whether integrity is checked by the database for related entities.

Returns:

true if integrity is checked by the database

isCompositesCheckedByDatabase

public boolean isCompositesCheckedByDatabase()

Returns whether integrity is checked by the database for composite entities.

Returns:

true if integrity is checked by the database
