This constructor is public to permit tools that require a JavaBean instance to operate.

Method Detail

getEnumMap

public static <E extends Enum<E>> Map<String,E> getEnumMap(Class<E> enumClass)

Gets the Map of enums by name.

This method is useful when you need a map of enums by name.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum to query, not null

Returns:

the modifiable map of enum names to enums, never null

getEnumList

public static <E extends Enum<E>> List<E> getEnumList(Class<E> enumClass)

Gets the List of enums.

This method is useful when you need a list of enums rather than an array.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum to query, not null

Returns:

the modifiable list of enums, never null

isValidEnum

public static <E extends Enum<E>> boolean isValidEnum(Class<E> enumClass,
                                                      String enumName)

Checks if the specified name is a valid enum for the class.

This method differs from Enum.valueOf(java.lang.Class<T>, java.lang.String) in that checks if the name is a valid enum without needing to catch the exception.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum to query, not null

enumName - the enum name, null returns false

Returns:

true if the enum name is valid, otherwise false

isValidEnumIgnoreCase

public static <E extends Enum<E>> boolean isValidEnumIgnoreCase(Class<E> enumClass,
                                                                String enumName)

Checks if the specified name is a valid enum for the class.

This method differs from Enum.valueOf(java.lang.Class<T>, java.lang.String) in that checks if the name is a valid enum without needing to catch the exception and performs case insensitive matching of the name.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum to query, not null

enumName - the enum name, null returns false

Returns:

true if the enum name is valid, otherwise false

getEnum

public static <E extends Enum<E>> E getEnum(Class<E> enumClass,
                                            String enumName)

Gets the enum for the class, returning null if not found.

This method differs from Enum.valueOf(java.lang.Class<T>, java.lang.String) in that it does not throw an exception for an invalid enum name.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum to query, not null

enumName - the enum name, null returns null

Returns:

the enum, null if not found

getEnumIgnoreCase

public static <E extends Enum<E>> E getEnumIgnoreCase(Class<E> enumClass,
                                                      String enumName)

Gets the enum for the class, returning null if not found.

This method differs from Enum.valueOf(java.lang.Class<T>, java.lang.String) in that it does not throw an exception for an invalid enum name and performs case insensitive matching of the name.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum to query, not null

enumName - the enum name, null returns null

Returns:

the enum, null if not found

generateBitVector

public static <E extends Enum<E>> long generateBitVector(Class<E> enumClass,
                                                         Iterable<? extends E> values)

Creates a long bit vector representation of the given subset of an Enum.

This generates a value that is usable by processBitVector(java.lang.Class<E>, long).

Do not use this method if you have more than 64 values in your Enum, as this would create a value greater than a long can hold.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum we are working with, not null

values - the values we want to convert, not null, neither containing null

Returns:

a long whose value provides a binary representation of the given set of enum values.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if enumClass or values is null

IllegalArgumentException - if enumClass is not an enum class or has more than 64 values, or if any values null

Since:

3.0.1

generateBitVectors

public static <E extends Enum<E>> long[] generateBitVectors(Class<E> enumClass,
                                                            Iterable<? extends E> values)

Creates a bit vector representation of the given subset of an Enum using as many longs as needed.

This generates a value that is usable by processBitVectors(java.lang.Class<E>, long...).

Use this method if you have more than 64 values in your Enum.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the enumeration

Parameters:

enumClass - the class of the enum we are working with, not null

values - the values we want to convert, not null, neither containing null

Returns:

a long[] whose values provide a binary representation of the given set of enum values with least significant digits rightmost.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if enumClass or values is null

IllegalArgumentException - if enumClass is not an enum class, or if any values null
