      • STRING

        public static final AttributeType STRING
        The String type.

        Attributes of this type should be stored as String, List<String> or String[] objects, depending on the cardinality value.

      • LONG

        public static final AttributeType LONG
        The Long type.

        Attributes of this type should be stored as Long, List<Long> or long[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.

      • INTEGER

        public static final AttributeType INTEGER
        The Integer type.

        Attributes of this type should be stored as Integer, List<Integer> or int[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.

      • SHORT

        public static final AttributeType SHORT
        The Short type.

        Attributes of this type should be stored as Short, List<Short> or short[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.

      • CHARACTER

        public static final AttributeType CHARACTER
        The Character type.

        Attributes of this type should be stored as Character, List<Character> or char[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.

      • BYTE

        public static final AttributeType BYTE
        The Byte type.

        Attributes of this type should be stored as Byte, List<Byte> or byte[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.

      • DOUBLE

        public static final AttributeType DOUBLE
        The Double type.

        Attributes of this type should be stored as Double, List<Double> or double[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.

      • FLOAT

        public static final AttributeType FLOAT
        The Float type.

        Attributes of this type should be stored as Float, List<Float> or float[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.

      • BOOLEAN

        public static final AttributeType BOOLEAN
        The Boolean type.

        Attributes of this type should be stored as Boolean, List<Boolean> or boolean[] objects depending on AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality.

      • PASSWORD

        public static final AttributeType PASSWORD
        The Password type.

        Attributes of this type must be stored as String, List<String> or String[] objects depending on cardinality.

        A Password must be treated as a String but the type can be used to disguise the information when displayed to a user to prevent it from being seen.

      • values

        public static AttributeType[] 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 (AttributeType c : AttributeType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

      • valueOf

        public static AttributeType valueOf​(java.lang.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:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        Overrides:
