    Enum Constants
    Enum Constant
    Description
    DISJOINT
    The two types have no instances in common; if a value is an instance of one type, then it is not an instance of the other.
    OVERLAPS
    The two types have intersecting value spaces; there are values that belong to both types, but neither type subsumes the other.
    SAME_TYPE
    The two types are identical
    SUBSUMED_BY
    The second type subsumes the first; all values that are instances of the first type are also instances of the second.
    SUBSUMES
    The first type subsumes the second; all values that are instances of the second type are also instances of the first.

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    static Affinity
    valueOf(String name)
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
    static Affinity[]

  • Enum Constant Details

    • SAME_TYPE

      public static final Affinity SAME_TYPE
      The two types are identical

    • SUBSUMES

      public static final Affinity SUBSUMES
      The first type subsumes the second; all values that are instances of the second type are also instances of the first. For example, xs:decimal subsumes xs:integer; node() subsumes element().

    • SUBSUMED_BY

      public static final Affinity SUBSUMED_BY
      The second type subsumes the first; all values that are instances of the first type are also instances of the second. For example, xs:integer is subsumed by xs:decimal; element() is subsumed by node()

    • DISJOINT

      public static final Affinity DISJOINT
      The two types have no instances in common; if a value is an instance of one type, then it is not an instance of the other. For example, xs:string and xs:boolean are disjoint, as are element() and attribute()

    • OVERLAPS

      public static final Affinity OVERLAPS
      The two types have intersecting value spaces; there are values that belong to both types, but neither type subsumes the other. For example, union(A, B) and union(A, C) overlap. As a special case, xs:string? and xs:boolean? overlap, because both types allow an empty sequence.

  • Method Details

    • values

      public static Affinity[] values()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.
      Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    • valueOf

      public static Affinity 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
