Enum PrimitiveDefaultValueMode

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<PrimitiveDefaultValueMode>

de.danielbechler.diff.comparison.PrimitiveDefaultValueMode

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<PrimitiveDefaultValueMode>

public enum PrimitiveDefaultValueMode
extends java.lang.Enum<PrimitiveDefaultValueMode>

Defines how default values of primitive types (int, long, short, byte, char, boolean, float, double) will be treated. A default value is either the one specified by the JDK (numbers are 0, booleans are false) or the value of the corresponding property when a new instance of its holding class gets created. In order to determine the proper default value, we'll attempt to instantiate the holding class once via its public constructor. If this instantiation fails (for example if there is no such constructor), we'll fall back to the JDK default. This configuration does not apply to the corresponding wrapper types (Integer, Long, Short, Byte, Character, Boolean, Float, Double).

Enum Constant and Description
ASSIGNED Default values of primitive types will be treated like any other value.
UNASSIGNED Default values of primitive types will be treated as if the property has not been set.

Enum Constant Detail

ASSIGNED

public static final PrimitiveDefaultValueMode ASSIGNED

Default values of primitive types will be treated like any other value. Since there is no distinction, any change to a primitive value will be marked as DiffNode.State.CHANGED.

UNASSIGNED

public static final PrimitiveDefaultValueMode UNASSIGNED

Default values of primitive types will be treated as if the property has not been set. The consequence of this is that a change from default value to something else will be marked as DiffNode.State.ADDED and from something else to the default value as DiffNode.State.REMOVED.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static PrimitiveDefaultValueMode valueOf(java.lang.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:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
