Method Detail

values

public static ScopeCode[] values()

Returns the list of ScopeCodes.

Returns:

the list of codes declared in the current JVM.

family

public ScopeCode[] family()

Returns the list of codes of the same kind than this code list element. Invoking this method is equivalent to invoking values(), except that this method can be invoked on an instance of the parent CodeList class.

Specified by:

family in interface ControlledVocabulary

Specified by:

family in class CodeList<ScopeCode>

Returns:

all code values for this code list.

valueOf

public static ScopeCode valueOf(String code)

Returns the scope code that matches the given string, or returns a new one if none match it. More specifically, this methods returns the first instance for which name().equals(code) returns true. If no existing instance is found, then a new one is created for the given name.

Parameters:
