Enum Affinity

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Affinity>
    public enum Affinity
extends java.lang.Enum<Affinity>
    A set of constants enumerating the possible relationships between one type and another

    • Enum Constant Summary

      Enum Constants 
      Enum Constant Description
      DISJOINT
      The two types have no instances in common; if a value is an instance of one type, then it is not an instance of the other.
      OVERLAPS
      The two types have intersecting value spaces; there are values that belong to both types, but neither type subsumes the other.
      SAME_TYPE
      The two types are identical
      SUBSUMED_BY
      The second type subsumes the first; all values that are instances of the first type are also instances of the second.
      SUBSUMES
      The first type subsumes the second; all values that are instances of the second type are also instances of the first.

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

      • SAME_TYPE

        public static final Affinity SAME_TYPE
        The two types are identical

      • SUBSUMES

        public static final Affinity SUBSUMES
        The first type subsumes the second; all values that are instances of the second type are also instances of the first. For example, xs:decimal subsumes xs:integer; node() subsumes element().

      • SUBSUMED_BY

        public static final Affinity SUBSUMED_BY
        The second type subsumes the first; all values that are instances of the first type are also instances of the second. For example, xs:integer is subsumed by xs:decimal; element() is subsumed by node()

      • DISJOINT

        public static final Affinity DISJOINT
        The two types have no instances in common; if a value is an instance of one type, then it is not an instance of the other. For example, xs:string and xs:boolean are disjoint, as are element() and attribute()

      • OVERLAPS

        public static final Affinity OVERLAPS
        The two types have intersecting value spaces; there are values that belong to both types, but neither type subsumes the other. For example, union(A, B) and union(A, C) overlap. As a special case, xs:string? and xs:boolean? overlap, because both types allow an empty sequence.

    • Method Detail

      • values

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

      • valueOf

        public static Affinity 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
