Enum Class AttributeType.AttributeFormat

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<AttributeType.AttributeFormat>

ddf.catalog.data.AttributeType.AttributeFormat

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<AttributeType.AttributeFormat>, Constable

Enclosing interface:

AttributeType<T extends Serializable>

public static enum AttributeType.AttributeFormat
extends Enum<AttributeType.AttributeFormat>

Enumeration used to indicate formats of Attributes. Because JDK 1.6 cannot switch on instanceof, an Enumeration is used instead.

SHORT

public static final AttributeType.AttributeFormat SHORT

Attributes of this AttributeType.AttributeFormat must have a value that is a Java Short.

INTEGER

public static final AttributeType.AttributeFormat INTEGER

Attributes of this AttributeType.AttributeFormat must have a value that is a Java Integer.

LONG

public static final AttributeType.AttributeFormat LONG

Attributes of this AttributeType.AttributeFormat must have a value that is a Java Long.

FLOAT

public static final AttributeType.AttributeFormat FLOAT

Attributes of this AttributeType.AttributeFormat must have a value that is a Java Float.

DOUBLE

public static final AttributeType.AttributeFormat DOUBLE

GEOMETRY

public static final AttributeType.AttributeFormat GEOMETRY

Attributes of this AttributeType.AttributeFormat must have a value that is a WKT-formatted Java String.

BINARY

public static final AttributeType.AttributeFormat BINARY

Attributes of this AttributeType.AttributeFormat must have a value that is a Java byte[] and AttributeType.getBinding() should return Class<Array> of byte.

XML

public static final AttributeType.AttributeFormat XML

OBJECT

public static final AttributeType.AttributeFormat OBJECT

Attributes of this AttributeType.AttributeFormat must have a value that implements the Serializable interface. Additional processing ( indexing, tokenizing) will not be performed even if indicated by the AttributeDescriptor.

NOTE: In order for classes to be deserialized by a Source, that class must exist on the classpath of that Source. This may require additional parameters to be set such as DynamicImport-Package in order for the ddf.catalog.source.Source to accommodate OBJECT format.
