Enum Constant Detail

GETTER

public static final MethodType GETTER

A method following the getter pattern. A getter according to the JavaBeans specification is a method whose:

• name starts with get, has a return type but no parameter
• name starts with is, has a return type and is returning boolean.

NON_GETTER

public static final MethodType NON_GETTER

A method that does not follow the getter pattern. A getter according to the JavaBeans specification is a method whose:

• name starts with get, has a return type but no parameter
• name starts with is, has a return type and is returning boolean.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static MethodType 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
