public abstract class ValuedEnum extends Enum
import org.apache.avalon.framework.ValuedEnum; public final class JavaVersion extends ValuedEnum { //standard enums for version of JVM public static final JavaVersion JAVA1_0 = new JavaVersion( "Java 1.0", 100 ); public static final JavaVersion JAVA1_1 = new JavaVersion( "Java 1.1", 110 ); public static final JavaVersion JAVA1_2 = new JavaVersion( "Java 1.2", 120 ); public static final JavaVersion JAVA1_3 = new JavaVersion( "Java 1.3", 130 ); private JavaVersion( final String name, final int value ) { super( name, value ); } }The above class could then be used as follows:
import org.apache.avalon.framework.context.Context; import org.apache.avalon.framework.context.Contextualizable; import org.apache.avalon.framework.context.ContextException; public class MyComponent implements Contextualizable { JavaVersion requiredVer = JavaVersion.JAVA1_2; public void contextualize(Context context) throws ContextException { JavaVersion ver = (JavaVersion)context.get("java.version"); if ( ver.isLessThan( requiredVer ) ) { throw new RuntimeException( requiredVer.getName()+" or higher required" ); } } }As with
Enum
, the ValuedEnum(String, int, Map)
constructor can be used to
populate a Map
, from which further functionality can be derived.
NOTE: between 4.0 and 4.1, the constructors' access has been changed
from public
to protected
. This is to prevent users
of the Enum breaking type-safety by defining new Enum items. All Enum items
should be defined in the Enum class, as shown above.
