   org.apache.xmlbeans.StringEnumAbstractBase

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:
StringEnumValue, Enum

The base class for code-generated string enumeration value classes.

Subclasses are intended to be final types with a finite set of singleton instances. Each instance has a string value, which it returns via #toString , and an int value for the purpose of switching in case statements, returned via #intValue .

Each subclass manages an instance of StringEnumAbstractBase.Table , which holds all the singleton instances for the subclass. A Table can return a singleton instance given a String or an integer code.
Nested Class Summary:
public static final class StringEnumAbstractBase.Table Used to manage singleton instances of enumerations. Each subclass of StringEnumAbstractBase has an instance of a table to hold the singleton instances.

Constructor:

protected StringEnumAbstractBase(String s, int i)
{ _string = s; _int = i; }
Singleton instances should only be created by subclasses.
