We are just trying to generate a field that reflects a type_code on an
entity object where the type_code could hold multiple values decoded via
a bitwise or. For example, a person may have a type_code field and the
individual person may be one or many types. One approach would be to
define final ints and perform a bitwise or on the values:
final int MISC_TYPE = 1;
final int HELPER_TYPE = 2;
final int IN_CHARGE_TYPE = 4;
. . .
We also tried an enumeration, but we couldn't find a way to reflect the
database set concept in this framework. The attributeGroup concept
appeared to be a little closer at first glance, but didn't handle the
individual field as a set either.
Our attempts resulted in a types.PersonType class with an instance of
PersonType as VALUE_1 and the int occupying VALUE_1_TYPE = 1; etc for
the other enum values.
I'm sure this has been done plenty of times - can someone please share??
Cheers,
Tim Ruppert && Ben Cox
