未完 Java: enum 枚举

[url]http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9850525/whats-the-use-of-enum-in-java[/url][quote][b]An enum is an ordinary class with a predefined and enumerable set of instances.[/b]
So, if you know in advance (in compile-time) how many instances a class will have and if the instances are easily enumerable, then use an enum.[/quote]

将一个带参 enum 的参数值作为 Spring applicationContext.xml 中 util:map or util:set 的 elements：
[url]http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14072314/inject-the-value-of-an-enum-into-a-property-using-spring[/url][quote]enum 类：

public class EmailEntity {
    public enum EmailTags {

        SOME_THING("some thing"), //放入 util-set bean 中
        ANOTHER_THING("another thing"),
        YET_ANOTHER_THING("yet another thing"); //放入 util-set bean 中

        private final String value;

        private EmailTags(String value) { this.value = value; }

        public String getValue() { return value; }

    }
}

applicationContext.xml:

  <util:set id="enumValueSet" set-class="java.util.HashSet">
    <bean factory-bean="someThing" factory-method="getValue" />
    <bean factory-bean="yetAnotherThing" factory-method="getValue" />
  </util:set>

  <util:constant id="someThing" static-field="com.package.EmailEntity$EmailTags.SOME_THING" />
  <util:constant id="yetAnotherThing" static-field="com.package.EmailEntity$EmailTags.YET_ANOTHER_THING" />

使用 util-set bean:

@Service("xService")
public class XServiceImpl implements XService {
    @Resource
    private Set<String> enumValueSet;
}

util-set enumValueSet 中放入的是两个字符串：
[color=yellow]some thing
yet another thing[/color][/quote]


A demo of with-value enum:

public enum Day { 

    MONDAY("M"), TUESDAY("T"), WEDNESDAY("W"),
    THURSDAY("R"), FRIDAY("F"), SATURDAY("Sa"), SUNDAY("Su"), ;

    private final String abbreviation;

    // Reverse-lookup map for getting a day from an abbreviation
    private static final Map<String, Day> lookup = new HashMap<String, Day>();

    static {
        for (Day d : Day.values()) {
            lookup.put(d.getAbbreviation(), d);
        }
    }

    private Day(String abbreviation) {
        this.abbreviation = abbreviation;
    }

    public String getAbbreviation() {
        return abbreviation;
    }

    public static Day fromAbbreviation(String abbreviation) {
        return lookup.get(abbreviation);
    }
}
