Enum ClientType

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<ClientType>

    public enum ClientType
    extends Enum<ClientType>
    Identifies whether a KDC client resides on the initiating side or the accepting side of a network connection.

    A client on the initiating side establishes a connection to a remote server. A client on the accepting side is created when a server accepts an incoming connection.

    This distinction determines how the underlying socket was established.

      • values

        public static ClientType[] 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 (ClientType c : ClientType.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static ClientType 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
