Object
- CodeList<E>

Type Parameters:

E - The type of this code list.

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<E>

Direct Known Subclasses:

AxisDirection, ColorInterpretation, ContrastMethod, Datatype, EvaluationMethodType, IndeterminateValue, InterpolationMethod, Obligation, OnLineFunction, PaletteInterpretation, PixelInCell, PixelOrientation, PresentationForm, RangeMeaning, RelativePosition, Role, SampleDimensionType, SemanticType, SortOrder, VerticalDatumType
```
public abstract class CodeList<E extends CodeList<E>>
extends Object
implements Comparable<E>, Serializable
```
Base class for all code lists. Subclasses shall provides a values() method which returns all CodeList element in an array of the appropriate class. Code list are extensible, i.e. invoking the public constructor in any subclass will automatically add the newly created CodeList element in the array to be returned by values().

Since:

GeoAPI 1.0

```
protected CodeList(String name,
                   Collection<E> values)
```
    Creates a new code list element and add it to the given collection. Subclasses will typically give a static reference to an ArrayList for the values argument. This list is used for values() method implementations.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - The code name.
    
    values - The collection to add the element to.

  - valueOf
```
public static <T extends CodeList> T valueOf(Class<T> codeType,
                                             String name)
```
    Returns the code of the given type that matches the given name, or returns a new one if none match it. More specifically, this methods returns the first element of the given class where matches(name) returned true. If no such element is found, then a new instance is created using the constructor expecting a single String argument.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - The compile-time type given as the codeType parameter.
    
    Parameters:
    
    codeType - The type of code list.
    
    name - The name of the code to obtain.
    
    Returns:
    
    A code matching the given name.
  - ordinal
```
public final int ordinal()
```
    Returns the ordinal of this code constant. This is its position in its elements declaration, where the initial constant is assigned an ordinal of zero.
    
    Returns:
    
    The position of this code constants in elements declaration.
  - identifier
```
public String identifier()
```
    Returns the identifier declared in the UML annotation, or null if none. The UML identifier shall be the ISO or OGC name for this code constant.
    
    Returns:
    
    The ISO/OGC identifier for this code constant, or null if none.
    
    Since:
    
    GeoAPI 2.2
  - name
```
public final String name()
```
    Returns the name of this code list constant.
    
    Returns:
    
    The name of this code constant.
  - matches
```
public boolean matches(String name)
```
    Returns true if the given name matches the name, identifier or any other identification string of this code list element. The comparison is case-insensitive.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - The name to check.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the given name matches the code name or identifier.
    
    Since:
    
    GeoAPI 2.2
  - family
```
public abstract E[] family()
```
    Returns the list of codes of the same kind than this code.
    
    Returns:
    
    The codes of the same kind than this code.
  - compareTo
```
public final int compareTo(E other)
```
    Compares this code with the specified object for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.
    Code list constants are only comparable to other code list constants of the same type. The natural order implemented by this method is the order in which the constants are declared.
    
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface Comparable<E extends CodeList<E>>
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - The code constant to compare with this code.
    
    Returns:
    
    -1 if the given code is less than this code, +1 if greater or 0 if equal.
  - equals
```
public final boolean equals(Object object)
```
    Compares the specified object with this code list for equality. This method compares only ordinal values for consistency with the compareTo(E) method. Ordinal values are unique for each code list element of the same class.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - The object to compare with this code.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the given object is equals to this code.
    
    Since:
    
    GeoAPI 2.2
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns a string representation of this code list.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
  - readResolve
```
protected Object readResolve()
                      throws ObjectStreamException
```
    Resolves the code list to an unique instance after deserialization. The instance is resolved using its name only (not its ordinal).
    
    Returns:
    
    This code list as an unique instance.
    
    Throws:
    
    ObjectStreamException - if the deserialization failed.
