Enum JmiAssocMapping

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Enum<JmiAssocMapping>
      org.eigenbase.jmi.JmiAssocMapping

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<JmiAssocMapping>

public enum JmiAssocMapping
extends Enum<JmiAssocMapping>

JmiAssocMapping enumerates the possible ways an association edge can be mapped when a JMI graph is being transformed.

Enum Constant Summary

CONTRACTION
The two ends of the association should be contracted into one vertex in the transformed graph.

COPY
The association edge should be preserved in the transformed graph.

HIERARCHY
The association edge should be interpreted as a hierarchical structure to be superimposed on the graph, with the source as parent and the target as child.

REMOVAL
The association should be left out of the transformed graph.

REVERSAL
The association edge should be preserved in the transformed graph, but its direction should be reversed.

Method Summary

static JmiAssocMapping	valueOf(String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static JmiAssocMapping[]	values() Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared.

Enum Constant Detail

REMOVAL

public static final JmiAssocMapping REMOVAL

The association should be left out of the transformed graph.

COPY

public static final JmiAssocMapping COPY

The association edge should be preserved in the transformed graph.

REVERSAL

public static final JmiAssocMapping REVERSAL

The association edge should be preserved in the transformed graph, but its direction should be reversed.

CONTRACTION

public static final JmiAssocMapping CONTRACTION

The two ends of the association should be contracted into one vertex in the transformed graph.

HIERARCHY

public static final JmiAssocMapping HIERARCHY

The association edge should be interpreted as a hierarchical structure to be superimposed on the graph, with the source as parent and the target as child.

Method Detail

values

public static final JmiAssocMapping[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for(JmiAssocMapping c : JmiAssocMapping.values())
        System.out.println(c);

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static JmiAssocMapping 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
