Method Detail

valueOf

public static BindingType valueOf(String kind)

iterator

public static Iterator<BindingType> iterator()

toString

public String toString()

Returns the String representation of this kind.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

String representation of this kind.

clone

public Object clone()

Clone only returns the one and only instance of this kind.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

Returns:

The original instance.

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Returns if the specified object and this are one and the same instance.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

other - Object to be compared with this instance.

Returns:

true if other equals this else false.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code of this object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

Hash code of this object.

compareTo

public int compareTo(BindingType other)

Compares _type against _type of the specified object. So this method is inconsistent with equals(java.lang.Object).

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<BindingType>

Parameters:

other - Object to be compared with this instance.

Returns:

A negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

readResolve

protected Object readResolve()

Called during deserialization.

Returns:

The existing instance of the enum.
So you can use '==' like 'equals' even if you use a deserialized Enum.
