Enum Constant Detail

UNIQUE

public static final PatientIdentifierType.UniquenessBehavior UNIQUE

Indicates that identifiers should be globally unique

NON_UNIQUE

public static final PatientIdentifierType.UniquenessBehavior NON_UNIQUE

Indicates that duplicates identifiers are allowed

LOCATION

public static final PatientIdentifierType.UniquenessBehavior LOCATION

Indicates that identifiers should be unique only across a location if the identifier's location property is not null

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static PatientIdentifierType.UniquenessBehavior 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
