Enum Class CollectionDefCategory

org.odpi.openmetadata.repositoryservices.connectors.stores.metadatacollectionstore.properties.typedefs.CollectionDefCategory

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<CollectionDefCategory>, Constable

public enum CollectionDefCategory
extends Enum<CollectionDefCategory>
implements Serializable

This enum defines the list of open metadata collection types. These types are generic types that need to be configured with specific primitive types before they can be used as an attribute type.

The enum includes a code value, a string name for the type (used in self describing structures such as JSON or XML) and the name of the Java Class that supports this type.
