endzeit created NIFI-12613: ------------------------------ 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
