      • STRICT

        public static final FieldMatchingStrategy STRICT
        All fields in the context must match exactly the fields in the target instance or class. This means that an exception will be thrown unless all fields in the context are found in the target.
      • MATCHING

        public static final FieldMatchingStrategy MATCHING
        All fields in the context are copied to the target instance or class. The context may contain additional fields not present in the target. Only fields that may be copied from the context to the target are taken into consideration. An exception will not be thrown if a field exists in the context but is non-existent in the target.

      • values

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

        public static FieldMatchingStrategy valueOf​(java.lang.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:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
