Content Engine Java API: ConnectionType

java.lang.Object
- com.filenet.api.constants.ConnectionType

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public class ConnectionType
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable
```
Provides the implementation of type-safe enumeration objects that identify the connection type between the client and the Content Engine server. This class also provides enumerated values for Enterprise Java™Beans (EJB) and SOAP transports. You can call the methods on this class to retrieve the connection type as a constant or an integer value, to compare connection type identities, or to convert integer values to string representations.

Field Summary

Fields
Modifier and Type	Field and Description
`static ConnectionType`	`EJB` A constant representing the `ConnectionType` for the EJB transport.
`static int`	`EJB_AS_INT` An `int` value associated with the `EJB` instance of this class.
`static ConnectionType`	`SOAP` A constant representing the `ConnectionType` for the SOAP transport.
`static int`	`SOAP_AS_INT` An `int` value associated with the `SOAP` instance of this class.

Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`static ConnectionType`	`getInstanceFromInt(int value)` Gets the object instance from its associated integer value (see the *_AS_INT constants in this class).
`int`	`getValue()` Returns an integer value associated with a specific instance of this class.
`java.lang.String`	`toString()` Returns a `String` representation of this instance.

- Field Detail
  - EJB_AS_INT
```
public static final int EJB_AS_INT
```
    An int value associated with the EJB instance of this class. It is better to use the static instances of this class than to use the associated int values. The int values risk binary incompatibility (but not source incompatibility) from release to release.

    Constant Field Values
  - EJB
```
public static final ConnectionType EJB
```
    A constant representing the ConnectionType for the EJB transport.
  - SOAP_AS_INT
```
public static final int SOAP_AS_INT
```
    An int value associated with the SOAP instance of this class. It is better to use the static instances of this class than to use the associated int values. The int values risk binary incompatibility (but not source incompatibility) from release to release.

- Method Detail
  - getValue
```
public int getValue()
```
    Returns an integer value associated with a specific instance of this class.
    
    Returns:
    An integer for a specific instance of this class.
  - getInstanceFromInt
```
public static ConnectionType getInstanceFromInt(int value)
```
    Gets the object instance from its associated integer value (see the *_AS_INT constants in this class).
    
    Parameters:
    value - An integer associated with a particular instance of this class.
    
    Returns:
    The referenced object instance.
    
    Throws:
    
    EngineRuntimeException - when the parameter is null or otherwise invalid.
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Returns a String representation of this instance.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    A String representing the instance.
