Returns a clone of this enumeration value, which to preserve the semantics of enumeration values is the same object as this enumeration value.

  Returns the enumeration value table for this enumeration value's enumeration class.

  Returns the enumeration value table for this enumeration value's enumeration class. The enumeration class's integer values are assumed to lie in the range L..L+N-1, where L is the value returned by getOffset() and N is the length of the enumeration value table. The element in the enumeration value table at index i-L is the enumeration value object whose integer value is i; the readResolve() method needs this to preserve singleton semantics during deserialization of an enumeration instance. If an integer within the above range is not used by any enumeration value, leave the corresponding table element null.

The default implementation returns null. If the enumeration class (a subclass of class EnumSyntax) does not override this method to return a non-null enumeration value table, and the subclass does not override the readResolve() method, the base class readResolve() method will throw an exception whenever an enumeration instance is deserialized from an object input stream.
Returns: the value table

  Returns the lowest integer value used by this enumeration value's enumeration class.

  Returns the lowest integer value used by this enumeration value's enumeration class.

The default implementation returns 0. If the enumeration class (a subclass of class EnumSyntax) uses integer values starting at other than 0, override this method in the subclass.
Returns: the offset of the lowest enumeration value.

  Returns the string table for this enumeration value's enumeration class.

  Returns the string table for this enumeration value's enumeration class. The enumeration class's integer values are assumed to lie in the range L..L+N-1, where L is the value returned by getOffset() and N is the length of the string table. The element in the string table at index i-L is the value returned by toString() for the enumeration value whose integer value is i. If an integer within the above range is not used by any enumeration value, leave the corresponding table element null.

The default implementation returns null. If the enumeration class (a subclass of class EnumSyntax) does not override this method to return a non-null string table, and the subclass does not override the toString() method, the base class toString() method will return just a string representation of this enumeration value's integer value.
Returns: the string table

  Returns this enumeration value's integer value.

  Returns this enumeration value's integer value.
Returns: the value

  Returns a hash code value for this enumeration value.

  Returns a hash code value for this enumeration value. The hash code is
just this enumeration value's integer value.

  During object input, convert this deserialized enumeration instance to the proper enumeration value defined in the enumeration attribute class.

  During object input, convert this deserialized enumeration instance to
the proper enumeration value defined in the enumeration attribute class.
Returns: The enumeration singleton value stored at index i-L in the enumeration value table returned by {@link #getEnumValueTable() getEnumValueTable()}, where i is this enumeration value's integer value and L is the value returned by {@link #getOffset() getOffset()}.
Throws:
- ObjectStreamException - if the stream can't be deserialised
- InvalidObjectException - Thrown if the enumeration value table is null, this enumeration value's integer value does not correspond to an element in the enumeration value table, or the corresponding element in the enumeration value table is null. (Note: {@link java.io.InvalidObjectException InvalidObjectException} is a subclass of {@link java.io.ObjectStreamException ObjectStreamException}, which readResolve() is declared to throw.)

Returns a string value corresponding to this enumeration value.
