Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`ARRAY`	An Object or primitive array.
`BAG`	A non-unique, unordered collection.
`ID_BAG`	A `BAG` with a generated id for each element
`LIST`	A non-unique, ordered collection following the requirements of `List`
`MAP`	A collection following the semantics of `Map`
`ORDERED_MAP`	A `MAP` that is ordered using an order-by fragment as the collection is loaded.
`ORDERED_SET`	A `SET` that is ordered using an order-by fragment as the collection is loaded.
`SET`	A unique, unordered collection following the requirements of `Set`
`SORTED_MAP`	A sorted `MAP` using either natural sorting of the keys or a specified `Comparator`.
`SORTED_SET`	A sorted `SET` using either natural sorting of the elements or a specified `Comparator`.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - ARRAY
```
public static final CollectionClassification ARRAY
```
    An Object or primitive array. Roughly follows the semantics of LIST
  - BAG
```
public static final CollectionClassification BAG
```
    A non-unique, unordered collection. Represented as Collection or List
  - ID_BAG
```
public static final CollectionClassification ID_BAG
```
    A BAG with a generated id for each element
  - LIST
```
public static final CollectionClassification LIST
```
    A non-unique, ordered collection following the requirements of List

  - SET
```
public static final CollectionClassification SET
```
    A unique, unordered collection following the requirements of Set
  - SORTED_SET
```
public static final CollectionClassification SORTED_SET
```
    A sorted SET using either natural sorting of the elements or a specified Comparator. Represented as SortedSet or Set
    
    See Also:
    
    SortNatural, SortComparator
  - ORDERED_SET
```
public static final CollectionClassification ORDERED_SET
```
    A SET that is ordered using an order-by fragment as the collection is loaded. Does not maintain ordering while in memory if the contents change. Represented as Set.

public static final CollectionClassification MAP
```
    A collection following the semantics of Map
  - SORTED_MAP

    SortNatural, SortComparator
  - ORDERED_MAP
```
public static final CollectionClassification ORDERED_MAP
```

- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static CollectionClassification[] 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 (CollectionClassification c : CollectionClassification.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static CollectionClassification 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
  - toJpaClassification
```
public PluralAttribute.CollectionType toJpaClassification()
```
  - isIndexed
```
public boolean isIndexed()
```
  - isRowUpdatePossible
```
public boolean isRowUpdatePossible()
```
  - interpretSetting
```
public static CollectionClassification interpretSetting(Object value)
```
    One of:
    
    CollectionClassification instance
    
    CollectionClassification name (case insensitive)
    
    Class reference for either List or Collection
