extends Enum<LineIdentifier>

Enumeration declaring possible event types when parsing LDIF files.

Enum Constant Summary

Attribute
Signifies the event when a new attribute is encountered.

ChangeType
Record being parsed is a 'changetype' record.

Comment
The current line is a comment and should be ignored.

Continuation
Indicates the current line parsed is a continuation of the previous line.

Control
An LDAP changetype control was encountered.

EndOfRecord
Signals the end of record has been reached.

NewRecord
Signifies the start of a new record in the file has been encountered: a DN declaration.

VersionIdentifier
Every LDIF file may optionally start with a version identifier of the form 'version: 1'.

Void
Parsed line should be ignored - used to skip remaining lines in a 'changetype' record.

Method Summary

static LineIdentifier	valueOf(String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static LineIdentifier 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
