Enum ConstraintSeverity

java.lang.Object
  extended by java.lang.Enum<ConstraintSeverity>
      extended by org.eclipse.emf.validation.model.ConstraintSeverity
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<ConstraintSeverity>, Enumerator

public enum ConstraintSeverity
extends Enum<ConstraintSeverity>
implements Enumerator

Describes the severity of failure to meet a constraint. See the individual value descriptions for details. The values correspond one-to-one with the Eclipse IStatus severity constants.

See Also:
IStatus, IModelConstraint

Enum Constant Summary
CANCEL
          Indicates that failure of the constraint constitutes an error condition that should cancel the validation operation (no further constraints are evaluated).
ERROR
          Indicates that failure of the constraint constitutes an error condition.
INFO
          Indicates that failure of the constraint should only generate an informational message to the user.
NULL
          This special value is a pointer-safe null value according to the Null Object pattern.
WARNING
          Indicates that failure of the constraint constitutes a warning condition.
 
Method Summary
static List<ConstraintSeverity> getAllInstances()
          Obtains all values of the enumeration.
static ConstraintSeverity getInstance(String name)
          Obtains the named instance.
 String getLiteral()
           
 String getLocalizedName()
          Obtains my localized (user-friendly) name.
 String getName()
          Obtains my symbolic name.
 int getValue()
           
 boolean isNull()
          Queries whether I am the Null Object of this enumeration.
 int toIStatusSeverity()
          Converts me to the Eclipse IStatus severity code.
 String toString()
           
static ConstraintSeverity valueOf(String name)
          Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.

Enum Constant Detail

INFO

public static final ConstraintSeverity INFO
Indicates that failure of the constraint should only generate an informational message to the user.


WARNING

public static final ConstraintSeverity WARNING
Indicates that failure of the constraint constitutes a warning condition.


ERROR

public static final ConstraintSeverity ERROR
Indicates that failure of the constraint constitutes an error condition.


CANCEL

public static final ConstraintSeverity CANCEL
Indicates that failure of the constraint constitutes an error condition that should cancel the validation operation (no further constraints are evaluated).


NULL

public static final ConstraintSeverity NULL
This special value is a pointer-safe null value according to the Null Object pattern. It is not a valid severity for a constraint.

Method Detail

values

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

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

valueOf

public static ConstraintSeverity 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

getInstance

public static ConstraintSeverity getInstance(String name)
Obtains the named instance.

Parameters:
name - the name to retrieve (not case-sensitive)
Returns:
the corresponding instance, or NULL if no matching instance exists

getAllInstances

public static final List<ConstraintSeverity> getAllInstances()
Obtains all values of the enumeration.

Returns:
all values

getName

public final String getName()
Obtains my symbolic name.

Specified by:
getName in interface Enumerator
Returns:
my name
See Also:
getInstance(java.lang.String)

getLocalizedName

public final String getLocalizedName()
Obtains my localized (user-friendly) name.

Returns:
a name suitable for display to the user
See Also:
getName()

isNull

public boolean isNull()
Queries whether I am the Null Object of this enumeration. In general, null pointers are never used with this type.

Returns:
whether I am the NULL instance

toIStatusSeverity

public int toIStatusSeverity()
Converts me to the Eclipse IStatus severity code.

Returns:
my corresponding Eclipse severity code

toString

public String toString()
Overrides:
toString in class Enum<ConstraintSeverity>

getValue

public int getValue()
Specified by:
getValue in interface Enumerator

getLiteral

public String getLiteral()
Specified by:
getLiteral in interface Enumerator
