NullHandling (DigitalCollections: Model (Model) 11.0.2 API)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<NullHandling>
- - de.digitalcollections.model.list.sorting.NullHandling

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<NullHandling>
```
public enum NullHandling
extends Enum<NullHandling>
```
Enumeration for null handling hints that can be used in Order expressions. See Spring Data Commons, but more flat design and independent of Spring libraries.

Enum Constant Summary

`NATIVE`	Lets the data store decide what to do with nulls.
`NULLS_FIRST`	A hint to the used data store to order entries with null values before non null entries.
`NULLS_LAST`	A hint to the used data store to order entries with null values after non null entries.

  - values
```
public static NullHandling[] 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 (NullHandling c : NullHandling.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static NullHandling 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
