/**
 * 

Abstract superclass for type-safe enums.

* *

One feature of the C programming language lacking in Java is enumerations. The * C implementation based on ints was poor and open to abuse. The original Java * recommendation and most of the JDK also uses int constants. It has been recognised * however that a more robust type-safe class-based solution can be designed. This * class follows the basic Java type-safe enumeration pattern.

* *

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

* *

Of course, if you actually want (or don't mind) Enums in different class * loaders being non-equal, then you can use ==.

* *

Simple Enums

* *

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

* *
 * public final class ColorEnum extends Enum {
 *   public static final ColorEnum RED = new ColorEnum("Red");
 *   public static final ColorEnum GREEN = new ColorEnum("Green");
 *   public static final ColorEnum BLUE = new ColorEnum("Blue");
 *
 *   private ColorEnum(String color) {
 *     super(color);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static ColorEnum getEnum(String color) {
 *     return (ColorEnum) getEnum(ColorEnum.class, color);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static Map getEnumMap() {
 *     return getEnumMap(ColorEnum.class);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static List getEnumList() {
 *     return getEnumList(ColorEnum.class);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static Iterator iterator() {
 *     return iterator(ColorEnum.class);
 *   }
 * }
 * 
* *

As shown, each enum has a name. This can be accessed using getName.

* *

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.

* *

Subclassed Enums

*

A hierarchy of Enum classes can be built. In this case, the superclass is * unaffected by the addition of subclasses (as per normal Java). The subclasses * may add additional Enum constants of the type of the superclass. The * query methods on the subclass will return all of the Enum constants from the * superclass and subclass.

* *
 * public final class ExtraColorEnum extends ColorEnum {
 *   // NOTE: Color enum declared above is final, change that to get this
 *   // example to compile.
 *   public static final ColorEnum YELLOW = new ExtraColorEnum("Yellow");
 *
 *   private ExtraColorEnum(String color) {
 *     super(color);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static ColorEnum getEnum(String color) {
 *     return (ColorEnum) getEnum(ExtraColorEnum.class, color);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static Map getEnumMap() {
 *     return getEnumMap(ExtraColorEnum.class);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static List getEnumList() {
 *     return getEnumList(ExtraColorEnum.class);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static Iterator iterator() {
 *     return iterator(ExtraColorEnum.class);
 *   }
 * }
 * 
* *

This example will return RED, GREEN, BLUE, YELLOW from the List and iterator * methods in that order. The RED, GREEN and BLUE instances will be the same (==) * as those from the superclass ColorEnum. Note that YELLOW is declared as a * ColorEnum and not an ExtraColorEnum.

* *

Functional Enums

* *

The enums can have functionality by defining subclasses and * overriding the getEnumClass() method:

* *
 *   public static final OperationEnum PLUS = new PlusOperation();
 *   private static final class PlusOperation extends OperationEnum {
 *     private PlusOperation() {
 *       super("Plus");
 *     }
 *     public int eval(int a, int b) {
 *       return a + b;
 *     }
 *   }
 *   public static final OperationEnum MINUS = new MinusOperation();
 *   private static final class MinusOperation extends OperationEnum {
 *     private MinusOperation() {
 *       super("Minus");
 *     }
 *     public int eval(int a, int b) {
 *       return a - b;
 *     }
 *   }
 *
 *   private OperationEnum(String color) {
 *     super(color);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public final Class getEnumClass() {     // NOTE: new method!
 *     return OperationEnum.class;
 *   }
 *
 *   public abstract double eval(double a, double b);
 * 
 *   public static OperationEnum getEnum(String name) {
 *     return (OperationEnum) getEnum(OperationEnum.class, name);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static Map getEnumMap() {
 *     return getEnumMap(OperationEnum.class);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static List getEnumList() {
 *     return getEnumList(OperationEnum.class);
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static Iterator iterator() {
 *     return iterator(OperationEnum.class);
 *   }
 * }
 * 
*

The code above will work on JDK 1.2. If JDK1.3 and later is used, * the subclasses may be defined as anonymous.

* *

Nested class Enums

* *

Care must be taken with class loading when defining a static nested class * for enums. The static nested class can be loaded without the surrounding outer * class being loaded. This can result in an empty list/map/iterator being returned. * One solution is to define a static block that references the outer class where * the constants are defined. For example:

* *
 * public final class Outer {
 *   public static final BWEnum BLACK = new BWEnum("Black");
 *   public static final BWEnum WHITE = new BWEnum("White");
 *
 *   // static nested enum class
 *   public static final class BWEnum extends Enum {
 * 
 *     static {
 *       // explicitly reference BWEnum class to force constants to load
 *       Object obj = Outer.BLACK;
 *     }
 * 
 *     // ... other methods omitted
 *   }
 * }
 * 
* *

Although the above solves the problem, it is not recommended. The best solution * is to define the constants in the enum class, and hold references in the outer class: * *

 * public final class Outer {
 *   public static final BWEnum BLACK = BWEnum.BLACK;
 *   public static final BWEnum WHITE = BWEnum.WHITE;
 *
 *   // static nested enum class
 *   public static final class BWEnum extends Enum {
 *     // only define constants in enum classes - private if desired
 *     private static final BWEnum BLACK = new BWEnum("Black");
 *     private static final BWEnum WHITE = new BWEnum("White");
 * 
 *     // ... other methods omitted
 *   }
 * }
 * 
* *
