public static final EScope SESSION

The session scope

REQUEST

public static final EScope REQUEST

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static EScope 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

                                         EScope eScope,
                                         boolean bCreateIfNotExisting)

Resolve the currently matching scope of the given EScope value.

Parameters:

eScope - The scope to resolve to a real scope.

bCreateIfNotExisting - if false and the scope is not existing, null will be returned. This parameter is only used in application scopes.

Returns:

The matching IScope or null if bCreateIfNotExisting is false and no scope is present

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If an illegal enumeration value is passed.
