Interface LabeledEnum

All Superinterfaces:
  Comparable, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:
  AbstractGenericLabeledEnum, AbstractLabeledEnum, LetterCodedLabeledEnum, ShortCodedLabeledEnum, StaticLabeledEnum, StringCodedLabeledEnum

Deprecated. as of Spring 3.0, in favor of Java 5 enums.

    @Deprecated
    public interface LabeledEnum

extends Comparable, Serializable

An interface for objects that represent a labeled enumeration. Each such enum instance has the following characteristics:

- A type that identifies the enum's class. For example: `com.mycompany.util.FileFormat`.
- A code that uniquely identifies the enum within the context of its type. For example: "CSV". Different classes of codes are possible (e.g., Character, Integer, String).
- A descriptive label. For example: "the CSV File Format".

  1.2.2
