Enum Constant Summary
ContinueOnError
          Any error thrown during notification to an observer is handled, and the notification will thus continue to notify the remaining observers.
StopOnError
          Any error thrown during notification to an observer will cause the notification to stop, and remaining observers are not notified.
 
Method Summary
static ObserverManager.NotificationPolicy valueOf(String name)
          Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static ObserverManager.NotificationPolicy[] values()
          Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

ContinueOnError

public static final ObserverManager.NotificationPolicy ContinueOnError
Any error thrown during notification to an observer is handled, and the notification will thus continue to notify the remaining observers.


StopOnError

public static final ObserverManager.NotificationPolicy StopOnError
Any error thrown during notification to an observer will cause the notification to stop, and remaining observers are not notified.

Method Detail

valueOf

public static ObserverManager.NotificationPolicy 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

values

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

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