com.vmware.vapi.bindings.ApiEnumeration<SourceType>

com.vmware.vapi.metadata.SourceType

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public final class SourceType
extends ApiEnumeration<SourceType>

The SourceType enumeration class defines the types of sources for API metadata. You specify the type of source when adding a metadata source to a metadata service.

See enumerated types description.

FILE

public static final SourceType FILE

Indicates the metadata source is a JSON file.

REMOTE

public static final SourceType REMOTE

Indicates the metadata source is a remote server.

Method Detail

values

public static SourceType[] values()

Retrieve all enumeration constants pre-defined by this enumeration class.

Additional instances might exist at runtime, for example to represent a new constant added to this enumeration class in subsequent version of the API. Such new constant is represented as instance of SourceType but is not pre-defined.

Returns:

Array of all pre-defined enumeration constants. Never null.

valueOf

public static SourceType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enumeration constant for the specified name.

If the name matches exactly the identifier used to declare an enumeration constant from this enumeration class, the constant in question will be returned.

Otherwise, a new instance of SourceType will be returned for the specified name, which will not be one of the pre-defined constant instances. Such new instance maps to the SourceType.Values._UNKNOWN enum constant from the native Java enum.

Parameters:

name - The name of the constant to return. Must not be null.

Returns:

Enumeration constant for the specified name. Never null.

isUnknown

public boolean isUnknown()

Checks if this enumeration constant is unknown. Unknown is a constant that is not one of the pre-defined ones for this enumeration class. Also see valueOf(java.lang.String) and values().

Returns:

true if this constant is unknown, and false otherwise.

getEnumValue

public SourceType.Values getEnumValue()

Returns a native Java enum constant representing this enumeration constant. The result is useful for usual handling of Java enum, for example it can be used in switch statements.

If this enumeration constant is unknown, then SourceType.Values._UNKNOWN enum constant is returned.

The native Java enum is SourceType.Values.

Returns:

The Java enum constant. Never null.
