Enum XmlSchemaPathNode.Direction

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<XmlSchemaPathNode.Direction>

org.apache.ws.commons.schema.docpath.XmlSchemaPathNode.Direction

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<XmlSchemaPathNode.Direction>

Enclosing class:

XmlSchemaPathNode<U,V>

public static enum XmlSchemaPathNode.Direction
extends Enum<XmlSchemaPathNode.Direction>

Represents a path's direction. Paths may go in four directions:

• CHILD : The path moves from the current node in the tree (an element or group) to one of its children.
• PARENT : The path moves from the current node in the tree to its parent. If moving to the parent of an element, this closes the tag.
• SIBLING : This initiates a new occurrence of the current (wildcard) element or group. If creating a sibling (wildcard) element, this closes the tag of the existing element and opens a new one of the same name.
• CONTENT : This represents content inside an element (not children tags). This will either be the simple content of a simple element, or the text contained inside a mixed element. Mixed content may occur as either a direct child of the owning element, or inside one of the owning element's child groups.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static XmlSchemaPathNode.Direction 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
