Enum Reception

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Reception>

    public enum Reception
    extends java.lang.Enum<Reception>

    Distinguishes conditional observer methods from observer methods which are always notified.

    A conditional observer method is an observer method which is notified of an event only if an instance of the bean that defines the observer method already exists in the current context.

    Beans with scope @Dependent may not have conditional observer methods.

      • IF_EXISTS

        public static final Reception IF_EXISTS

        Specifies that an observer method is only called if the current instance of the bean declaring the observer method already exists.

        If there is no active context for the scope to which the bean declaring this observer method belongs, then the observer method is not called.

    • Method Detail

      • values

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

        public static Reception 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
