Enum Constant Details

CHILD

public static final NameScope CHILD

Resolve against the children of the base file. The name is resolved as described by FILE_SYSTEM. However, an exception is thrown if the resolved file is not a direct child of the base file.

DESCENDENT

public static final NameScope DESCENDENT

Resolve against the descendants of the base file. The name is resolved as described by FILE_SYSTEM. However, an exception is thrown if the resolved file is not a descendent of the base file.

DESCENDENT_OR_SELF

public static final NameScope DESCENDENT_OR_SELF

Resolve against the descendants of the base file. The name is resolved as described by FILE_SYSTEM. However, an exception is thrown if the resolved file is not a descendent of the base file, or the base files itself.

FILE_SYSTEM

public static final NameScope FILE_SYSTEM

Resolve against files in the same file system as the base file.

If the supplied name is an absolute path, then it is resolved relative to the root of the file system that the base file belongs to. If a relative name is supplied, then it is resolved relative to the base file.

The path may use any mix of /, \, or file system specific separators to separate elements in the path. It may also contain . and .. elements.

A path is considered absolute if it starts with a separator character, and relative if it does not.

Method Details

values

public static NameScope[] values()

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static NameScope 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

getName

public String getName()

Returns the name of the scope.

Returns:

The name of the scope.

toString

public String toString()

Returns the name of the scope.

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<NameScope>
