Enum Constant Detail

BUFFERING

public static final BufferingMode BUFFERING

Represents a mode where ontology changes are buffered inside an OWLReasoner. The reasoner only considers the changes when the buffer is flushed with the OWLReasoner.flush() method.

NON_BUFFERING

public static final BufferingMode NON_BUFFERING

Represents a mode where ontology changes are not buffered inside an OWLReasoner. The reasoner considers all changes immediately.

Method Detail

values

public static BufferingMode[] 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 (BufferingMode c : BufferingMode.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static BufferingMode 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
