Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
CATEGORICAL A fixed list of categories or nominal values.
GENERAL Any kind of data.
INTERVAL Strictly numerical data.
ORDINAL An extension of CATEGORICAL, where the categories are also strictly ordered.

Enum Constant Detail

GENERAL

public static final ValueClass GENERAL

Any kind of data. Usually this is textual, but not necessarily always so. An example would be a "2-4 sentence summary".

If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "general".

CATEGORICAL

public static final ValueClass CATEGORICAL

A fixed list of categories or nominal values.

If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "categorical".

ORDINAL

public static final ValueClass ORDINAL

An extension of CATEGORICAL, where the categories are also strictly ordered.

If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "ordinal".

INTERVAL

public static final ValueClass INTERVAL

Strictly numerical data.

If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "interval".

RATIO

public static final ValueClass RATIO

An extension of INTERVAL, where 0 means the absence of something, and ratios between values are meaningful.

If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "ratio".

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static ValueClass 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
