http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24272 Enum/ValueEnum class needs functionality to load values from a properties file ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-11-03 17:53 ------- As I understand it, oacl.Enum was put together to provide support for the java typesafe enum pattern (http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/Books/effectivejava/Chapter5.pdf - Item 21). The usage proposed here simply overloads this implementation to obtain typed objects (associated with values) which have the same signature as the Enum type, but aren't really meant to be used for the pattern described above, but which are essentially accessed only by name or value, and never used, anywhere in the code base, at compile time. I think this might be useful functionality, and perhaps worth thinking about as a separate contribution, but not, I think, as an addition or overload of the Enum pattern. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
