Enum Constant Detail

CREATE_OR_UPDATE

public static final SyncDeltaType CREATE_OR_UPDATE

The change represents either a create or an update in the resource. These are combined into a single value because:

1. Many resources will not be able to distinguish a create from an update. Those that have an audit log will be able to. However, many implementations will only have the current record and a modification timestamp.
2. Regardless of whether or not the resource can distinguish the two cases, the application needs to distinguish.

DELETE

public static final SyncDeltaType DELETE

The change represents a DELETE in the resource.

CREATE

public static final SyncDeltaType CREATE

The change represents a CREATE in the resource.

Experimental type to support better event mechanism where it's possible.

Since:

1.4

CREATE_OR_UPDATE

UPDATE

public static final SyncDeltaType UPDATE

The change represents a UPDATE in the resource.

Experimental type to support better event mechanism where it's possible.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static SyncDeltaType 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
