All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<GeoServerRESTPublisher.Format>

Enclosing class:

GeoServerRESTPublisher

public static enum GeoServerRESTPublisher.Format
extends Enum<GeoServerRESTPublisher.Format>

Represents the format used to GET, PUT or POST information via REST. For example consider the resource "foo". To request a representation of foo as XML the request uri would end with "foo.xml". To request as JSON the request uri would end with "foo.json". When no format is specified the server will use its own internal format, usually html.

In a POST or PUT operation the format specifies 1) the representatin of the content being sent to the server, and 2) the representation of the response to be sent back. The former is specified with the Content-type header. To send a representation in XML, the content type "text/xml" or "application/xml" would be used. The latter is specified with the Accepts header as specified in the above paragraph describing a GET operation.

The following table defines the Content-type values for each format:

• XML (application/xml)
• JSON (application/json)
• HTML (application/html)
• SLD (application/vnd.ogc.sld+xml)

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static GeoServerRESTPublisher.Format 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

getContentType

public static String getContentType(GeoServerRESTPublisher.Format f)

Gets the mime type from a format.

Parameters:

f - the format key.

Returns:

The content-type (mime), or null if not in the enum.

getContentType

public String getContentType()

Gets the mime type from a format.

Parameters:

f - the format key.

Returns:

The content-type (mime), or null if not in the enum.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a lowercase representation of the parameter. Useful when constructing the REST request.

Overrides:
