Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
Action	An operation that performs a change on the target object and or system (for static actions).
Constructor	An operation that creates an instance of its entity.
Event	Events are not operations per se, but share quite a few properties with operations, hence modeled as such.
Finder	A finder finds instances of entities according to some internal criteria.
Retriever	A retriever produces data.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static Operation.OperationKind	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static Operation.OperationKind[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

Action

public static final Operation.OperationKind Action

An operation that performs a change on the target object and or system (for static actions).

Event

public static final Operation.OperationKind Event

Events are not operations per se, but share quite a few properties with operations, hence modeled as such.

Finder

public static final Operation.OperationKind Finder

A finder finds instances of entities according to some internal criteria. Finders always return sets of Instances.

Retriever

public static final Operation.OperationKind Retriever

A retriever produces data. The data may be backed by entity instances, but it can really be any arbitrary tuple-shaped data. Retrievers return sets of Tuples.

Constructor

public static final Operation.OperationKind Constructor

An operation that creates an instance of its entity.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static Operation.OperationKind 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
