Enum Constant Detail

### MANY_TO_ONE

    public static final Relationship MANY_TO_ONE

  Relates many entities to one secondary key.

  The secondary index will have non-unique keys; in other words, duplicates will be allowed.

  The secondary key field is singular, in other words, it may not be an array or collection type.

### ONE_TO_MANY

    public static final Relationship ONE_TO_MANY

  Relates one entity to many secondary keys.

  The secondary index will have unique keys, in other words, duplicates will not be allowed.

  The secondary key field must be an array or collection type.

### MANY_TO_MANY

    public static final Relationship MANY_TO_MANY

  Relates many entities to many secondary keys.

  The secondary index will have non-unique keys, in other words, duplicates will be allowed.

  The secondary key field must be an array or collection type.

### ONE_TO_ONE

    public static final Relationship ONE_TO_ONE

  Relates one entity to one secondary key.

  The secondary index will have unique keys, in other words, duplicates will not be allowed.

  The secondary key field is singular, in other words, it may not be an array or collection type.

Method Detail

### values

    public static Relationship[] 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 (Relationship c : Relationship.values())
          System.out.println(c);

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

### valueOf

    public static Relationship 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
