Class EnumerationFactory

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.cocoon.util.EnumerationFactory

public class EnumerationFactory

extends Object

A factory for the creation of enumeration types (missing in Java). The same operations are provided as for Ada, only representation specification is missing (which does not seem to make much sense in Java). Enumeration classes are to be derived from this class thereby making the constructors private to inhibit creation outside of the derived class.
