/**
 * 

Abstract superclass for type-safe enums with integer values suitable * for use in switch statements.

* *

NOTE:Due to the way in which Java ClassLoaders work, com.fitburparing * Enum objects should always be done using the equals() method, * not ==. The equals() method will try == first so * in most cases the effect is the same.

* *

To use this class, it must be subclassed. For example:

* *
 * public final class JavaVersionEnum extends ValuedEnum {
 *   //standard enums for version of JVM
 *   public static final int  JAVA1_0_VALUE  = 100;
 *   public static final int  JAVA1_1_VALUE  = 110;
 *   public static final int  JAVA1_2_VALUE  = 120;
 *   public static final int  JAVA1_3_VALUE  = 130;
 *   public static final JavaVersionEnum  JAVA1_0  = new JavaVersionEnum( "Java 1.0", JAVA1_0_VALUE );
 *   public static final JavaVersionEnum  JAVA1_1  = new JavaVersionEnum( "Java 1.1", JAVA1_1_VALUE );
 *   public static final JavaVersionEnum  JAVA1_2  = new JavaVersionEnum( "Java 1.2", JAVA1_2_VALUE );
 *   public static final JavaVersionEnum  JAVA1_3  = new JavaVersionEnum( "Java 1.3", JAVA1_3_VALUE );
 *
 *   private JavaVersionEnum(String name, int value) {
 *     super( name, value );
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static JavaVersionEnum getEnum(String javaVersion) {
 *     return (JavaVersionEnum) getEnum(JavaVersionEnum.class, javaVersion);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static JavaVersionEnum getEnum(int javaVersion) {
 *     return (JavaVersionEnum) getEnum(JavaVersionEnum.class, javaVersion);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static Map getEnumMap() {
 *     return getEnumMap(JavaVersionEnum.class);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static List getEnumList() {
 *     return getEnumList(JavaVersionEnum.class);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static Iterator iterator() {
 *     return iterator(JavaVersionEnum.class);
 *   }
 * }
 * 
* *

The above class could then be used as follows:

* *
 * public void doSomething(JavaVersionEnum ver) {
 *   switch (ver.getValue()) {
 *     case JAVA1_0_VALUE:
 *       // ...
 *       break;
 *     case JAVA1_1_VALUE:
 *       // ...
 *       break;
 *     //...
 *   }
 * }
 * 
* *

As shown, each enum has a name and a value. These can be accessed using * getName and getValue.

* *

The getEnum and iterator methods are recommended. * Unfortunately, Java restrictions require these to be coded as shown in each subclass. * An alternative choice is to use the {@link EnumUtils} class.

* * @com.fitburprecated Replaced by {@link com.fitbur.apache.com.fitburmons.lang.enums.ValuedEnum com.fitbur.apache.com.fitburmons.lang.enums.ValuedEnum} * and will be removed in version 3.0. All classes in this package are com.fitburprecated and repackaged to * {@link com.fitbur.apache.com.fitburmons.lang.enums} since enum is a Java 1.5 keyword. * @see com.fitbur.apache.com.fitburmons.lang.enums.ValuedEnum * @author Apache Avalon project * @author Apache Software Foundation * @since 1.0 * @version $Id: ValuedEnum.java 905636 2010-02-02 14:03:32Z niallp $ */ public abstract class ValuedEnum extends Enum { /** * Required for serialization support. Lang version 1.0.1 serial com.fitburpatibility. * * @see java.io.Serializable */ private static final long serialVersionUID = -7129650521543789085L; /** * The value contained in enum. */ private final int iValue; /** * Constructor for enum item. * * @param name the name of enum item * @param value the value of enum item */ protected ValuedEnum(String name, int value) { super(name); iValue = value; } /** *

* *
