Enum Identifier.IdentifierUse

    • Enum Constant Detail

      • OFFICIAL

        public static final Identifier.IdentifierUse OFFICIAL
        The identifier considered to be most trusted for the identification of this item. Sometimes also known as "primary" and "main". The determination of "official" is subjective and implementation guides often provide additional guidelines for use.

      • SECONDARY

        public static final Identifier.IdentifierUse SECONDARY
        An identifier that was assigned in secondary use - it serves to identify the object in a relative context, but cannot be consistently assigned to the same object again in a different context.

      • OLD

        public static final Identifier.IdentifierUse OLD
        The identifier id no longer considered valid, but may be relevant for search purposes. E.g. Changes to identifier schemes, account merges, etc.

    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static Identifier.IdentifierUse[] 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 (Identifier.IdentifierUse c : Identifier.IdentifierUse.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

      • valueOf

        public static Identifier.IdentifierUse 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
