Enum ExecutableType


  • public enum ExecutableType
extends java.lang.Enum<ExecutableType>
    Defines the types of executables targeted by an operation.
    Since:
    1.1

    • Enum Constant Summary

      Enum Constants 
      Enum Constant Description
      ALL
      All executables (constructors and methods).
      CONSTRUCTORS
      All constructors.
      GETTER_METHODS
      /** All methods following the getter pattern.
      IMPLICIT
      If the annotation using ExecutableType is on a type (class or interface), the behavior is equivalent to the annotation not being present.
      NON_GETTER_METHODS
      All methods except the ones following the getter pattern.
      NONE
      None of the executables.

    • Method Summary

      All Methods Static Methods Concrete Methods 
      Modifier and Type Method Description
      static ExecutableType valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
      static ExecutableType[] values​()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

    • Enum Constant Detail

      • IMPLICIT

        public static final ExecutableType IMPLICIT
        If the annotation using ExecutableType is on a type (class or interface), the behavior is equivalent to the annotation not being present.

        If on a constructor, it is equivalent to CONSTRUCTORS.

        If on a non-getter method, it is equivalent to NON_GETTER_METHODS.

        If on a getter method, it is equivalent to GETTER_METHODS.

      • NONE

        public static final ExecutableType NONE
        None of the executables.

        Note that this option is equivalent to an empty list of executable types and is present to improve readability. If NONE and other types of executables are present in a list, NONE is ignored.

      • CONSTRUCTORS

        public static final ExecutableType CONSTRUCTORS
        All constructors.

      • NON_GETTER_METHODS

        public static final ExecutableType NON_GETTER_METHODS
        All methods except the ones following the getter pattern. A getter according to the JavaBeans specification is a method whose:
        • name starts with get, has a return type but no parameter
        • name starts with is, has a return type and is returning boolean.

      • GETTER_METHODS

        public static final ExecutableType GETTER_METHODS
        /** All methods following the getter pattern. A getter according to the JavaBeans specification is a method whose:
        • name starts with get, has a return type but no parameter
        • name starts with is, has a return type and is returning boolean.

      • ALL

        public static final ExecutableType ALL
        All executables (constructors and methods).

    • Method Detail

      • values

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

      • valueOf

        public static ExecutableType 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
