Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static NullDelta 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

merge

public DeltaAware merge(DeltaAware other)

Description copied from interface: Delta

Merge the current Delta instance with a given DeltaAware instance, and return a coherent and complete DeltaAware instance. Implementations should be able to deal with null values passed in, or values of a different type from the expected DeltaAware instance. Usually the approach would be to ignore what is passed in, create a new instance of the DeltaAware implementation that the current Delta implementation is written for, apply changes and pass it back.

Specified by:

merge in interface Delta

Parameters:

other - instance to merge with, or null if no merging is needed

Returns:

a fully coherent and usable instance of DeltaAware which may or may not be the same instance passed in
