All Implemented Interfaces:

Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`BEAN` Translates to/from a Javascript object containing one property for each property defined within the enum.
`NAME` Translates to/from a String matching the constant name.
`ORDINAL` Translates to/from an integer matching the ordinal number of the constant within the enumeration
`STRING` Translates to/from a String matching the `enum.toString()`.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - NAME
```
public static final EnumTranslateStrategy NAME
```
    Translates to/from a String matching the constant name. This is the default if not set.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "name".
  - STRING
```
public static final EnumTranslateStrategy STRING
```
    Translates to/from a String matching the enum.toString().
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "string".
  - ORDINAL
```
public static final EnumTranslateStrategy ORDINAL
```
    Translates to/from an integer matching the ordinal number of the constant within the enumeration
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "ordinal".
  - BEAN
```
public static final EnumTranslateStrategy BEAN
```
    Translates to/from a Javascript object containing one property for each property defined within the enum. The constant itself and the ordinal number are included in the JS object. By default they are called "_constant" and "_ordinal", but this can be overridden with the DataSource.enumOrdinalProperty and DataSource.enumConstantProperty properties
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "bean".

  - values
```
public static EnumTranslateStrategy[] 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 (EnumTranslateStrategy c : EnumTranslateStrategy.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static EnumTranslateStrategy 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
  - getValue
```
public java.lang.String getValue()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getValue in interface ValueEnum
