All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<RelationshipEndCardinality>, Constable

public enum RelationshipEndCardinality extends Enum<RelationshipEndCardinality> implements Serializable
RelationshipCardinality is used in a RelationshipEndDef to indicate how many relationships of this type can be connected to an entity instance.:
  • UNKNOWN: uninitialized cardinality.
  • AT_MOST_ONE: means there can be zero or one instances of this relationship connected to an instance of the EntityDef. This relationship is written as 0..1 in UML.
  • ANY_NUMBER: means there can be none, one or many instances of this relationship connected to an instance of the EntityDef. This relationship is often written as 0..* or * in UML.

    • values

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

      public static RelationshipEndCardinality valueOf(String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (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 class has no constant with the specified name
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null
    • getOrdinal

      public int getOrdinal()
      Return the numeric representation of the cardinality.
      Returns:
      int ordinal
    • getName

      public String getName()
      Return the default name of the cardinality.
      Returns:
      String name
    • getDescription

      public String getDescription()
      Return the default description of the cardinality.
      Returns:
      String description
    • toString

      public String toString()
      toString() JSON-style
      Overrides:
      toString in class Enum<RelationshipEndCardinality>
      Returns:
