All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<RdfCollectionFormat>

public enum RdfCollectionFormat
extends Enum<RdfCollectionFormat>

Used in conjunction with the @Rdf.collectionFormat() annotation to fine-tune how classes, beans, and bean properties are serialized, particularly collections.

Enum Constant Detail

DEFAULT

public static final RdfCollectionFormat DEFAULT

Default formatting (default).

Inherit formatting from parent class or parent package. If no formatting specified at any level, default is SEQ.

SEQ

public static final RdfCollectionFormat SEQ

Causes collections and arrays to be rendered as RDF sequences.

BAG

public static final RdfCollectionFormat BAG

Causes collections and arrays to be rendered as RDF bags.

LIST

public static final RdfCollectionFormat LIST

Causes collections and arrays to be rendered as RDF lists.

MULTI_VALUED

public static final RdfCollectionFormat MULTI_VALUED

Causes collections and arrays to be rendered as multi-valued RDF properties instead of sequences.

Note that enabling this setting will cause order of elements in the collection to be lost.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static RdfCollectionFormat 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
