Method Detail

getLabeledEnumSet

Set getLabeledEnumSet(Class type)
                      throws IllegalArgumentException

Deprecated.

Return a set of enumerations of a particular type. Each element in the set should be an instance of LabeledEnum.

Parameters:

type - the enum type

Returns:

a set of localized enumeration instances for the provided type

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the type is not supported

getLabeledEnumMap

Map getLabeledEnumMap(Class type)
                      throws IllegalArgumentException

Deprecated.

Return a map of enumerations of a particular type. Each element in the map should be a key/value pair, where the key is the enum code, and the value is the LabeledEnum instance.

Parameters:

type - the enum type

Returns:

a Map of localized enumeration instances, with enum code as key and LabeledEnum instance as value

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the type is not supported

getLabeledEnumByCode

LabeledEnum getLabeledEnumByCode(Class type,
                               Comparable code)
                                 throws IllegalArgumentException

Deprecated.

Resolve a single LabeledEnum by its identifying code.

Parameters:

type - the enum type

code - the enum code

Returns:

the enum

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the code did not map to a valid instance

getLabeledEnumByLabel

LabeledEnum getLabeledEnumByLabel(Class type,
                                String label)
                                  throws IllegalArgumentException

Deprecated.

Resolve a single LabeledEnum by its identifying code.

Parameters:

type - the enum type

label - the enum label

Returns:

the enum

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the label did not map to a valid instance
