All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<XmlSet.Conjunction>

Enclosing interface:

XmlSet

public static enum XmlSet.Conjunction
extends Enum<XmlSet.Conjunction>

This enum contains the available conjunctions for an XmlSet. Such conjunction is an operation that describes how a the results of multiple XmlSelectors are combined.

Enum Constant Detail

UNION

public static final XmlSet.Conjunction UNION

This is the conjunction used to combine the results of multiple XmlSelectors with a logical OR. Each result that is accepted by any of the XmlSelectors is added to the result of the according XmlSet.
E.g. if the XmlSelector A accepts the XML nodes n1 and n2 with the XmlSelector B accepts n2 and n3 then the UNION of A and B will accept n1, n2 and n3.

INTERSECTION

public static final XmlSet.Conjunction INTERSECTION

This is the conjunction used to combine the results of multiple XmlSelectors with a logical AND. Only results that are accepted by all of the XmlSelectors are added to the result of the according XmlSet.
E.g. if the XmlSelector A accepts the XML nodes n1 and n2 with the XmlSelector B accepts n2 and n3 then the INTERSECTION of A and B will only accept n2.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static XmlSet.Conjunction 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
