Enum XmlMarshalNullRepresentation

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Enum<XmlMarshalNullRepresentation>
      org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.annotations.XmlMarshalNullRepresentation

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<XmlMarshalNullRepresentation>

public enum XmlMarshalNullRepresentation
extends java.lang.Enum<XmlMarshalNullRepresentation>

Purpose: This enumeration provides a means of specifying how a null value in a java object should be marshalled to XML. The possible options are:

• XSI_NIL - This means that the element should be written out with an xsi:nil attribute. Example: <element xsi:nil="true"/>
• EMPTY_NODE - This indicates that the element should be written out to xml with no contents Example: <element />
• ABSENT_NODE - Absent node means that no element should be written to XML if null is encountered

  Method Detail

  values

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

  Returns:

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

  valueOf

  public static XmlMarshalNullRepresentation valueOf(java.lang.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:

  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

  java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

  value

  public java.lang.String value()

  fromValue
