Enum Class Stereotype

Object

Enum<Stereotype>

Stereotype

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Stereotype>, Constable

public enum Stereotype
extends Enum<Stereotype>

Type of modeling element as declared in the OGC/ISO UML diagram. Values of this enumeration are associated to GeoAPI interfaces by the Classifier annotation.

This enumeration is closely related to the ISO 19115 Datatype code list, but not identical since ISO 19115 specifies datatype and stereotype as two distinct information. Furthermore, Stereotype needs to be defined as an Enum for allowing usages in Java annotations

This enumeration does not include the code list and enumeration stereotypes, because instances of those types are identified by the CodeList and Enum base classes respectively.

Since:

3.1

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
ABSTRACT	Root class for a structural polymorphism.
DATATYPE	Encapsulation of data, as opposed to taxonomic or behavioural descriptions.
METACLASS	Class whose instances are classes.
TYPE	Class that specifies a domain of objects together with the operations applicable to the objects, without defining the physical implementation of those objects.
UNION	Type consisting of one and only one of several alternatives (listed as member attributes).

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static Stereotype	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name.
static Stereotype[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Details

TYPE

public static final Stereotype TYPE

Class that specifies a domain of objects together with the operations applicable to the objects, without defining the physical implementation of those objects.

This is the default value for interfaces without Classifier annotation.

DATATYPE

public static final Stereotype DATATYPE

Encapsulation of data, as opposed to taxonomic or behavioural descriptions. Data types may not have an identity of their own and are usually aggregated into some sort of container such as being an attribute in another class.

ABSTRACT

public static final Stereotype ABSTRACT

Root class for a structural polymorphism. Abstract types are not directly instantiable.

See Also:

• Datatype.ABSTRACT_CLASS

UNION

public static final Stereotype UNION

Type consisting of one and only one of several alternatives (listed as member attributes).

See Also:

• Datatype.UNION_CLASS

METACLASS

public static final Stereotype METACLASS

Class whose instances are classes.

• Datatype.META_CLASS

Method Details

values

public static Stereotype[] values()

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static Stereotype valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (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 class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
