Enum Class XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType>

javax.xml.xpath.XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable, Comparable<XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType>, Constable

Enclosing interface:: XPathEvaluationResult<T>

public static enum XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType extends Enum<XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType>

XPathResultType represents possible return types of an XPath evaluation. Provided as an enum type, it allows the use of switch statement. At the same time, a mapping is provided between the original QName types in XPathConstants and class types used in the generic methods.

Since:: 9

Method Details

values

public static XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:: an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (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 class has no constant with the specified name; NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getQNameType

public static QName getQNameType(Class<?> clsType)

Returns the QName type as specified in XPathConstants that corresponds to the specified class type.

Parameters:: clsType - a class type that the enum type supports
Returns:: the QName type that matches with the specified class type, null if there is no match
