ResolverStyle (Java Platform SE 8 ) (original) (raw)

• java.lang.Object

• • java.lang.Enum<ResolverStyle>
  • • java.time.format.ResolverStyle

• All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, Comparable<ResolverStyle>

public enum ResolverStyle
extends Enum<ResolverStyle>
Enumeration of different ways to resolve dates and times.
Parsing a text string occurs in two phases. Phase 1 is a basic text parse according to the fields added to the builder. Phase 2 resolves the parsed field-value pairs into date and/or time objects. This style is used to control how phase 2, resolving, happens.
Implementation Requirements:
This is an immutable and thread-safe enum.

1.8

     * #### STRICT  
     public static final [ResolverStyle](../../../java/time/format/ResolverStyle.html "enum in java.time.format") STRICT  
     Style to resolve dates and times strictly.  
      Using strict resolution will ensure that all parsed values are within the outer range of valid values for the field. Individual fields may be further processed for strictness.  
      For example, resolving year-month and day-of-month in the ISO calendar system using strict mode will ensure that the day-of-month is valid for the year-month, rejecting invalid values.  
     * #### SMART  
     public static final [ResolverStyle](../../../java/time/format/ResolverStyle.html "enum in java.time.format") SMART  
     Style to resolve dates and times in a smart, or intelligent, manner.  
      Using smart resolution will perform the sensible default for each field, which may be the same as strict, the same as lenient, or a third behavior. Individual fields will interpret this differently.  
      For example, resolving year-month and day-of-month in the ISO calendar system using smart mode will ensure that the day-of-month is from 1 to 31, converting any value beyond the last valid day-of-month to be the last valid day-of-month.  
     * #### LENIENT  
     public static final [ResolverStyle](../../../java/time/format/ResolverStyle.html "enum in java.time.format") LENIENT  
     Style to resolve dates and times leniently.  
      Using lenient resolution will resolve the values in an appropriate lenient manner. Individual fields will interpret this differently.  
      For example, lenient mode allows the month in the ISO calendar system to be outside the range 1 to 12\. For example, month 15 is treated as being 3 months after month 12.  

  • Method Detail

    * #### values  
    public static [ResolverStyle](../../../java/time/format/ResolverStyle.html "enum in java.time.format")[] values()  
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:  
    for (ResolverStyle c : ResolverStyle.values())  
        System.out.println(c);  
    Returns:  
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared  
    * #### valueOf  
    public static [ResolverStyle](../../../java/time/format/ResolverStyle.html "enum in java.time.format") valueOf([String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") name)  
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match _exactly_ an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)  
    Parameters:  
    `name` \- the name of the enum constant to be returned.  
    Returns:  
    the enum constant with the specified name  
    Throws:  
    `[IllegalArgumentException](../../../java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html "class in java.lang")` \- if this enum type has no constant with the specified name  
    `[NullPointerException](../../../java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang")` \- if the argument is null
