------------------------------
Summary: Align type-safe access to allowableValue with it's
declaration
Key: NIFI-12613
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-12613
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: endzeit
Assignee: endzeit
NIFI-12452 introduced a new method on {{PropertyValue}} to type-safely access a
property with allowableValues constrained by an Enum.
{code:java}
<E extends Enum<E> & DescribedValue> E asDescribedValue(Class<E> enumType)
throws IllegalArgumentException {code}
I think it makes sense to align the access site in {{PropertyValue}} with the
declaration site in {{PropertyDescriptor.Builder}}.
This would involve renaming the method to {{asAllowableValue}} for improved
symmetry.
This is a breaking change, however the method was never part of an stable
release.
Additionally, NIFI-12573 unified the behaviour of specifying Enums (not)
implementing {{DescribedValue}} as allowableValues. With this change in place,
I think it's reasonable to open the method to accepts any Enum as well.
