Enum ExpirationType

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<ExpirationType>
    public enum ExpirationType
extends java.lang.Enum<ExpirationType>
    The type of expiration to be used while expiring items in cache. The value of this type varies from item to item in cache.

      Enum Constants 
      Enum Constant Description
      Absolute
      Indicates that item expiration in cache is to follow fixed expiration.
      DefaultAbsolute
      Indicates that item expiration in cache is to follow fixed expiration and value should be taken from 'DefaultAbsolute' field in NCache Manager.
      DefaultAbsoluteLonger
      Indicates that item expiration in cache is to follow fixed expiration and value should be taken from 'DefaultAbsoluteLonger' field in NCache Manager.
      DefaultSliding
      Indicates that item expiration in cache is to follow fixed expiration and value should be taken from 'DefaultSliding' field in NCache Manager.
      DefaultSlidingLonger
      Indicates that item expiration in cache is to follow fixed expiration and value should be taken from 'DefaultSlidingLonger' field in NCache Manager.
      None
      Indicates that no expiration is to take place.
      Sliding
      Indicates that item expiration in cache is to follow idle expiration.

      Modifier and Type Method Description
      static ExpirationType forValue​(int value)
      retreives the enum constant of the specified value, if exists.
      int getValue()
      Order is important in enums.By using getValue() method, each enum constant index can be found, just like array index.

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
      static ExpirationType[] values()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

    • Method Detail

      • values

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

      • valueOf

        public static ExpirationType 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

      • forValue

        public static ExpirationType forValue​(int value)
        retreives the enum constant of the specified value, if exists.
        Parameters:
        value - enum constant index
        Returns:
        enum constant

      • getValue

        public int getValue()
        Order is important in enums.By using getValue() method, each enum constant index can be found, just like array index.
        Returns:
        enum constant index
