A_TO_B_OR_B_TO_A Enforces a link between A and B, in either direction.
NOT_A_TO_B_OR_B_TO_A Ensures that a link is not created between A and B.

Enum Constant Detail

A_TO_B

public static final LinkConstraintMethod A_TO_B

Enforces a link from A to B.

A_TO_B_IF_EXISTS

public static final LinkConstraintMethod A_TO_B_IF_EXISTS

If a link is detected between A and B, ensure it is directed from A to B.

A_TO_B_IF_CHOICE

public static final LinkConstraintMethod A_TO_B_IF_CHOICE

If a link is detected between A and B, direct it from A to B if a choice of direction is available.

A_TO_B_OR_B_TO_A

public static final LinkConstraintMethod A_TO_B_OR_B_TO_A

Enforces a link between A and B, in either direction.

NOT_A_TO_B_OR_B_TO_A

public static final LinkConstraintMethod NOT_A_TO_B_OR_B_TO_A

Ensures that a link is not created between A and B.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static LinkConstraintMethod 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
