Enum Constant Detail

REQUIRED

public static final BindingStrength.ValueSet REQUIRED

Required

To be conformant, the concept in this element SHALL be from the specified value set.

EXTENSIBLE

public static final BindingStrength.ValueSet EXTENSIBLE

Extensible

To be conformant, the concept in this element SHALL be from the specified value set if any of the codes within the value set can apply to the concept being communicated. If the value set does not cover the concept (based on human review), alternate codings (or, data type allowing, text) may be included instead.

PREFERRED

public static final BindingStrength.ValueSet PREFERRED

Preferred

Instances are encouraged to draw from the specified codes for interoperability purposes but are not required to do so to be considered conformant.

EXAMPLE

public static final BindingStrength.ValueSet EXAMPLE

Example

Instances are not expected or even encouraged to draw from the specified value set. The value set merely provides examples of the types of concepts intended to be included.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static BindingStrength.ValueSet 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

value

public String value()

Returns:

The java.lang.String value of the code represented by this enum

from

public static BindingStrength.ValueSet from(String value)

Factory method for creating BindingStrength.ValueSet values from a passed string value.

Parameters:

value - A string that matches one of the allowed code values

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the passed string cannot be parsed into an allowed code value
