Class StringCodedLabeledEnum

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.core.enums.AbstractLabeledEnum
      org.springframework.core.enums.StringCodedLabeledEnum

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable, LabeledEnum

public class StringCodedLabeledEnum
extends AbstractLabeledEnum

Implementation of LabeledEnum which uses a String as the code type.

Should almsot always be subclassed, but for some simple situations it may be used directly. Note that you will not be able to use unique type-based functionality like LabeledEnumResolver.getLabeledEnumSet(type) in this case.

Since:

1.2.2
