in an interface, I store constants in this way (I'd like to know what you think of this practice). This is just a dummy example.
interface HttpConstants {
/** 2XX: generally "OK" */
public static final int HTTP_OK = 200;
public static final int HTTP_CREATED = 201;
public static final int HTTP_ACCEPTED = 202;
public static final int HTTP_NOT_AUTHORITATIVE = 203;
public static final int HTTP_NO_CONTENT = 204;
public static final int HTTP_RESET = 205;
public static final int HTTP_PARTIAL = 206;
...
}
Is there a way I can iterate over all constants declared in this interface ?

Using reflection:
Field[] interfaceFields=HttpConstants.class.getFields();
for(Field f:interfaceFields) {
//do something
}
But anyway, if you can redesign your class, I would recomend you to handle a static enum constants construction. So, suposing your class will contain always an int value for every constant:
enum HttpConstants {
HTTP_OK(200), HTTP_CREATED(201), HTTP_ACCEPTED(202),
HTTP_NOT_AUTHORITATIVE(203),HTTP_NO_CONTENT(204),
HTTP_RESET(205), HTTP_PARTIAL(206) /* ... */;
private int value;
HttpConstants(int aValue) {
value=aValue;
}
public int getValue() {
return value;
}
}
Then, to loop on it:
for(HttpConstants val: HttpConstants.values()) {
int value=val.getValue();
//...
}
Thus, avoiding the access to the reflection API.
