EXACT

public static final MatchMode EXACT
Match the entire string to the pattern


START

public static final MatchMode START
Match the start of the string to the pattern


END

public static final MatchMode END
Match the end of the string to the pattern


ANYWHERE

Method Detail

values

public static MatchMode[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
for (MatchMode c : MatchMode.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:
an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static MatchMode valueOf(String name)
Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:
name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:
the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
NullPointerException - if the argument is null

toMatchString

public abstract String toMatchString(String pattern)
convert the pattern, by appending/prepending "%"
