Enum Constant Detail

MERGE

public static final ValueDataSerializer.Mergeable.MergeType MERGE

The data object should be merged. The serialized form of the resulting merged object is used from the data output stream is stored in the cache.

USE_NEWVALUE

public static final ValueDataSerializer.Mergeable.MergeType USE_NEWVALUE

The data object should not be merged. The new object should be used as is.

This is useful for data types that do not require merging when there is no chance that the objects contain disparate sets of attributes, all of which must be preserved.

Method Detail

values

public static ValueDataSerializer.Mergeable.MergeType[] 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 (ValueDataSerializer.Mergeable.MergeType c : ValueDataSerializer.Mergeable.MergeType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static ValueDataSerializer.Mergeable.MergeType 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
