Attachment: THRIFT-949-1
Adds TEnumHelper.java and associated tests.
> Modify the TEnum interface so it defines a method similar to findByValue
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-949
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-949
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Java - Compiler, Java - Library
> Reporter: Mathias Herberts
> Priority: Trivial
> Attachments: THRIFT-949-1
>
>
> In some cases, Thrift instances are converted into more simple types. This is
> made easy by the existence of the meta data map.
> TEnum fields are usually converted to 'int' using getValue.
> When converting back to Thrift, those 'int' need to be converted back to
> TEnum.
> The generated TEnum classes have a static method findByValue, but as it is
> static it is not defined in the TEnum interface and therefore can only be
> accessed using reflection if the enum type is not know before runtime.
> By adding a simple 'public TEnum getByValue(int value)' method in the TEnum
> interface, we could get rid of the reflection part.
