EventPattern.PatternType (eBus Feed 7.4.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<EventPattern.PatternType>
- - net.sf.eBus.feed.pattern.EventPattern.PatternType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<EventPattern.PatternType>

Enclosing class:

EventPattern
```
public static enum EventPattern.PatternType
extends Enum<EventPattern.PatternType>
```
eBus patterns come in two varieties: ordered and unordered. Ordered patterns specify the order in which events are expected and the minimum and maximum quantity of each event. Unordered patterns only specify the event quantities, allowing events to arrive in any order.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`ORDERED`	Ordered patterns specify event arrival order and event minimum and maximum quantities.
`UNORDERED`	Unordered patterns specify event minimum and maximum quantities only, allowing events to arrive in any order.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - ORDERED
```
public static final EventPattern.PatternType ORDERED
```
    Ordered patterns specify event arrival order and event minimum and maximum quantities.
  - UNORDERED
```
public static final EventPattern.PatternType UNORDERED
```
    Unordered patterns specify event minimum and maximum quantities only, allowing events to arrive in any order.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static EventPattern.PatternType[] 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 (EventPattern.PatternType c : EventPattern.PatternType.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static EventPattern.PatternType 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
