Enum Constant Detail

COMPILE

public static final Phase COMPILE

Compilation : consists in validating all Objects hierarchy and configuration. It's executed once for a single instance, as soon as it's not modified. Necessary for execution.

OPTIMIZE

public static final Phase OPTIMIZE

Compilation : consists in optimizing all Objects hierarchy and configuration. It's executed once for a single instance, as soon as it's not modified. Not necessary for execution.

EXECUTE

public static final Phase EXECUTE

Execution : running the rule engine.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static Phase 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
