Enum Constant Detail

DEFINED_LOCALLY

public static final ConstraintOrigin DEFINED_LOCALLY

Constraint is defined on the root class

DEFINED_IN_HIERARCHY

public static final ConstraintOrigin DEFINED_IN_HIERARCHY

Constraint is defined in a super-class or interface of the root class.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static ConstraintOrigin 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
