Class StringEnumAbstractBase

  org.apache.xmlbeans.StringEnumAbstractBase

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class StringEnumAbstractBase
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

The base class for code-generated string enumeration value classes.

Subclasses are intended to be final types with a finite set of singleton instances. Each instance has a string value, which it returns via toString(), and an int value for the purpose of switching in case statements, returned via intValue().

Each subclass manages an instance of StringEnumAbstractBase.Table, which holds all the singleton instances for the subclass. A Table can return a singleton instance given a String or an integer code.
