Interface DataRole

All Known Implementing Classes:

DataRole.OperationType, DataRole.Resource, DataRole.ResourceType

public interface DataRole

An interface a data entity role must implement.

Data entity roles are supposed to be enums, but to ensure type safety, we have to have different enums for different entity types. I.e. resources can only have data of roles from the DataRole.Resource enum, resource types only from DataRole.ResourceType enum and operation types from the DataRole.OperationType enum.

Method Detail

valueOf

static DataRole valueOf(String name)

Converts the string representation of the data role to an instance of it. This works across all implementations of DataRole - DataRole.Resource, DataRole.ResourceType and DataRole.OperationType.

Parameters:

name - the name of the data role (one of the values in the above enums)

Returns:

the enum instance with given name

values

static DataRole[] values()

Returns:

an array of all data roles across all enums implementing the interface - DataRole.Resource, DataRole.ResourceType, DataRole.OperationType.

name

String name()

Returns:

the unique name of the role

isSchema

boolean isSchema()

Returns:

true if this role represents a schema, false otherwise
