Enum Class ResolverStyle

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<ResolverStyle>

java.time.format.ResolverStyle

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable, Comparable<ResolverStyle>, Constable

public enum ResolverStyle extends Enum<ResolverStyle>

Enumeration of different ways to resolve dates and times.

Parsing a text string occurs in two phases. Phase 1 is a basic text parse according to the fields added to the builder. Phase 2 resolves the parsed field-value pairs into date and/or time objects. This style is used to control how phase 2, resolving, happens.

Implementation Requirements:: This is an immutable and thread-safe enum.
Since:: 1.8

Methods declared in class Enum

clone, compareTo, describeConstable, equals, finalize, getDeclaringClass, hashCode, name, ordinal, toString, valueOf

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`protected final Object`	`clone()`	Throws CloneNotSupportedException.
`final int`	`compareTo(ResolverStyle o)`	Compares this enum with the specified object for order.
`final Optional<Enum.EnumDesc<ResolverStyle>>`	`describeConstable()`	Returns an enum descriptor `EnumDesc` for this instance, if one can be constructed, or an empty `Optional` if one cannot be.
`final boolean`	`equals(Object other)`	Returns true if the specified object is equal to this enum constant.
`protected final void`	`finalize()`	Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version. Finalization has been deprecated for removal.
`final Class<ResolverStyle>`	`getDeclaringClass()`	Returns the Class object corresponding to this enum constant's enum type.
`final int`	`hashCode()`	Returns a hash code for this enum constant.
`final String`	`name()`	Returns the name of this enum constant, exactly as declared in its enum declaration.
`final int`	`ordinal()`	Returns the ordinal of this enumeration constant (its position in its enum declaration, where the initial constant is assigned an ordinal of zero).
`String`	`toString()`	Returns the name of this enum constant, as contained in the declaration.
`static <T extends Enum<T>> T`	`valueOf(Class<T> enumClass, String name)`	Returns the enum constant of the specified enum class with the specified name.

Methods declared in class Object

getClass, notify, notifyAll, wait, wait, wait

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()`	Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`final void`	`notify()`	Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()`	Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`wait()`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

Enum Constant Details

STRICT

public static final ResolverStyle STRICT

Style to resolve dates and times strictly.

Using strict resolution will ensure that all parsed values are within the outer range of valid values for the field. Individual fields may be further processed for strictness.

For example, resolving year-month and day-of-month in the ISO calendar system using strict mode will ensure that the day-of-month is valid for the year-month, rejecting invalid values.

SMART

public static final ResolverStyle SMART

Style to resolve dates and times in a smart, or intelligent, manner.

Using smart resolution will perform the sensible default for each field, which may be the same as strict, the same as lenient, or a third behavior. Individual fields will interpret this differently.

For example, resolving year-month and day-of-month in the ISO calendar system using smart mode will ensure that the day-of-month is from 1 to 31, converting any value beyond the last valid day-of-month to be the last valid day-of-month.

LENIENT

public static final ResolverStyle LENIENT

Style to resolve dates and times leniently.

Using lenient resolution will resolve the values in an appropriate lenient manner. Individual fields will interpret this differently.

For example, lenient mode allows the month in the ISO calendar system to be outside the range 1 to 12. For example, month 15 is treated as being 3 months after month 12.

Method Details

values

public static ResolverStyle[] 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 ResolverStyle 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
