Enum Constant Detail

UNDECLARED

public static final AttributeType UNDECLARED

Attribute type: the attribute has not been declared or type is unknown.

getAttributeType(java.lang.String)

CDATA

public static final AttributeType CDATA

Attribute type: the attribute value is a string.

See Also:

Attribute.getAttributeType()

ID

public static final AttributeType ID

Attribute type: the attribute value is a unique identifier.

See Also:

getAttributeType(java.lang.String)

IDREF

public static final AttributeType IDREF

Attribute type: the attribute value is a reference to a unique identifier.

See Also:

getAttributeType(java.lang.String)

IDREFS

public static final AttributeType IDREFS

Attribute type: the attribute value is a list of references to unique identifiers.

See Also:

getAttributeType(java.lang.String)

ENTITY

public static final AttributeType ENTITY

Attribute type: the attribute value is the name of an entity.

See Also:

getAttributeType(java.lang.String)

ENTITIES

public static final AttributeType ENTITIES

Attribute type: the attribute value is a list of entity names.

See Also:

getAttributeType(java.lang.String)

NMTOKEN

public static final AttributeType NMTOKEN

Attribute type: the attribute value is a name token.

According to SAX 2.0 specification, attributes of enumerated types should be reported as "NMTOKEN" by SAX parsers. But the major parsers (Xerces and Crimson) provide specific values that permit to recognize them as ENUMERATION.

See Also:

Attribute.getAttributeType()

NMTOKENS

public static final AttributeType NMTOKENS

Attribute type: the attribute value is a list of name tokens.

See Also:

getAttributeType(java.lang.String)

NOTATION

public static final AttributeType NOTATION

Attribute type: the attribute value is the name of a notation.

See Also:

getAttributeType(java.lang.String)

ENUMERATION

public static final AttributeType ENUMERATION

Attribute type: the attribute value is a name token from an enumeration.

See Also:

getAttributeType(java.lang.String)

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static AttributeType 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

byIndex

@Deprecated
public static final AttributeType byIndex(int index)

Deprecated. Use normal Enums instead of int's

Obtain a AttributeType by a int constant. This goes against the logic of enums, but this is used for backward compatibility. Thus, this method is marked Deprecated.

Parameters:

index - The AttributeType int equivalent to retrieve

Returns:

The AttributeType corresponding to the specified equivalent

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if there is no equivalent

getAttributeType

public static final AttributeType getAttributeType(java.lang.String typeName)

Returns the the JDOM AttributeType value from the SAX 2.0 attribute type string provided by the parser.

Parameters:

typeName - String the SAX 2.0 attribute type string.

Returns:

int the JDOM attribute type.
