Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static HttpMethod 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

Specified by:

length in interface CharSequence

charAt

public char charAt(int index)

Specified by:

charAt in interface CharSequence

subSequence

public CharSequence subSequence(int start,
                                int end)

Specified by:

subSequence in interface CharSequence

requiresRequestBody

public static boolean requiresRequestBody(HttpMethod method)

Whether the given method requires a request body.

Parameters:

method - The HttpMethod

Returns:

True if it does

permitsRequestBody

public static boolean permitsRequestBody(HttpMethod method)

Whether the given method allows a request body.

Parameters:

method - The HttpMethod

Returns:

True if it does

parse
