Enum Constant Detail

GETTER

public static final ActionType GETTER

Indicates a method that gets a value

SETTER

public static final ActionType SETTER

Indicates a method that sets a value

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static ActionType 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

parse

public static ActionType parse(String functionName)

Parse the action type from the function name. Action types are defined from known function name prefixes. In general the function prefix will define the action type and the remaining portion of the name will define the local name for the predicate. @see @link{ org.xenei.jena.annotations.Predicate }

Function prefix	ActionType
get or is	GETTER
set or add	SETTER
remove	REMOVER
has	EXISTENTIAL

Parameters:

functionName -

Returns:

ActionType

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the function does not have an action type prefix.

isA

public boolean isA(String functionName)

Test to see if the function name is of this action type.

Parameters:

functionName - The name to test

Returns:

true if the function is of this type, false otherwise.

extractName

public String extractName(String name)

Extract the local name portion of the function name/

Parameters:

name - The function name to extract the local portion from.

Returns:

The local name.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - fur unrecognized ActionType instances.
