Enclosing interface:

PropagationConstraint

public static enum PropagationConstraint.RemoveConstraint
extends Enum<PropagationConstraint.RemoveConstraint>

Defines the behavior for a 'remove' from context operation.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
cascade	When the source entity is removed from a context, the relation and its target entity are also removed from that context.
cascadeWhenOrphan	When the source entity is removed from a context, the target entity is also removed, but only if it has no other incoming relations within that context.
keep	When the source entity is removed from a context, the relation is removed, but the target entity remains in the context.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static PropagationConstraint.RemoveConstraint	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static PropagationConstraint.RemoveConstraint[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

cascadeWhenOrphan

public static final PropagationConstraint.RemoveConstraint cascadeWhenOrphan

When the source entity is removed from a context, the target entity is also removed, but only if it has no other incoming relations within that context.

cascade

public static final PropagationConstraint.RemoveConstraint cascade

When the source entity is removed from a context, the relation and its target entity are also removed from that context.

keep

public static final PropagationConstraint.RemoveConstraint keep

When the source entity is removed from a context, the relation is removed, but the target entity remains in the context.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static PropagationConstraint.RemoveConstraint 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
