Enum Constant Detail

AUTO

public static final IdentityType AUTO

Use the platform default identity type (database Identity or Sequence).

IDENTITY

public static final IdentityType IDENTITY

Use database IDENTITY column.

SEQUENCE

public static final IdentityType SEQUENCE

Using a database SEQUENCE for the identity value.

APPLICATION

public static final IdentityType APPLICATION

Application supplies the identity value.

No database sequence or identity column will be generated in DDL and instead the value is always expected to be supplied by the application or custom generator.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static IdentityType 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
