Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
COMPLEXTYPE	A complex structure that defines a set of data elements that is suitable for use in 'resources'.
LOGICAL	A pattern or a template that is not intended to be a real resource or complex type.
NULL	added to help the parsers with the generic types
PRIMITIVETYPE	A primitive type that has a value and an extension.
RESOURCE	A 'resource' - a directed acyclic graph of elements that aggregrates other types into an identifiable entity.

Enum Constant Details

PRIMITIVETYPE

public static final StructureDefinition.StructureDefinitionKind PRIMITIVETYPE

A primitive type that has a value and an extension. These can be used throughout complex datatype, Resource and extension definitions. Only the base specification can define primitive types.

COMPLEXTYPE

public static final StructureDefinition.StructureDefinitionKind COMPLEXTYPE

A complex structure that defines a set of data elements that is suitable for use in 'resources'. The base specification defines a number of complex types, and other specifications can define additional types. These structures do not have a maintained identity.

RESOURCE

public static final StructureDefinition.StructureDefinitionKind RESOURCE

A 'resource' - a directed acyclic graph of elements that aggregrates other types into an identifiable entity. The base FHIR resources are defined by the FHIR specification itself but other 'resources' can be defined in additional specifications (though these will not be recognised as 'resources' by the FHIR specification (i.e. they do not get end-points etc, or act as the targets of references in FHIR defined resources - though other specificatiosn can treat them this way).

LOGICAL

public static final StructureDefinition.StructureDefinitionKind LOGICAL

A pattern or a template that is not intended to be a real resource or complex type.

NULL

public static final StructureDefinition.StructureDefinitionKind NULL

added to help the parsers with the generic types

Method Details

values

public static StructureDefinition.StructureDefinitionKind[] values()

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static StructureDefinition.StructureDefinitionKind 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

fromCode

public static StructureDefinition.StructureDefinitionKind fromCode(String codeString)
                                                            throws org.hl7.fhir.exceptions.FHIRException
