Enum Constant Detail

ASNEW

public static final CreateMethod ASNEW
Create the object by doing a 'new' on the object. It will use the most optimal constructor using a greedy algorithm (i,e, it uses the constructor with the most or most specialized parameters).


CONTAINER_PARAMETER

public static final CreateMethod CONTAINER_PARAMETER
The object is a container parameter; it's value will be set at runtime when the container is constructed.


FACTORY_METHOD

public static final CreateMethod FACTORY_METHOD
Created by some factory, by calling a method on a static or known instance.

Method Detail

values

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

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

valueOf

public static CreateMethod valueOf(java.lang.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:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
