Enum JsfBeanMode

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<JsfBeanMode>

org.josef.web.jsf.bean.JsfBeanMode

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<JsfBeanMode>

public enum JsfBeanMode
extends Enum<JsfBeanMode>

Enumeration of modes that a JsfBean can be in.
The different modes determine the action that the bean is currently executing (or about to execute). When a Jsf Bean is in the NEW mode for example the bean should persist an entity and when the Jsf Bean is in UPDATE mode, the same entity should be merged.
