Enum Constant Detail

NEVER

public static final GenerationTiming NEVER

Value generation that never occurs.

INSERT

public static final GenerationTiming INSERT

Value generation that occurs when a row is inserted in the database.

ALWAYS

public static final GenerationTiming ALWAYS

Value generation that occurs when a row is inserted or updated in the database.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static GenerationTiming 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
