Enum Constant Detail

LOCAL_ELEMENT

public static final Scope LOCAL_ELEMENT

Look for constraints declared on the current class element and ignore inheritance and elements with the same name in the class hierarchy.

HIERARCHY

public static final Scope HIERARCHY

Look for constraints declared on all elements of the class hierarchy with the same name.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static Scope 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
