classFromExtensibilityString

public static Class classFromExtensibilityString(String name)
                                          throws ClassNotFoundException

Converts the given name into a class using the extensibility rules where underscores are converted to dots ("_" => "."). For example:
name = "com_cumulocity_model_idtype_Reference" would return the class com.cumulocity.mode.idtype.Reference

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if the name cannot be converted to a class using the extensibility rules

public Class classFromExtensibilityString2(String name)
                                    throws ClassNotFoundException

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

classToStringRepresentation

public static <T> String classToStringRepresentation(Class<T> clazz)

Returns a string representation of the canonical name of the given class but with dots (".") replaced with underscores ("_"). Useful for creating JSON property names from class names.

public <T> String classToStringRepresentation2(Class<T> clazz)

enumFromExtensibilityString

public static Enum enumFromExtensibilityString(String name)
                                        throws ClassNotFoundException,
                                               IllegalArgumentException

Converts the given name into an enum using the extensibility rules where underscores are converted to dots ("_" => "."). For example:
name = "com_cumulocity_model_event_DefaultAlarmStatuses.ACTIVE" would return the enum value com.cumulocity.model.event.DefaultAlarmStatuses.ACTIVE

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if the enum class cannot be found

IllegalArgumentException - if the value does not exist in the enum

enumFromExtensibilityString2

public Enum enumFromExtensibilityString2(String name)
                                  throws ClassNotFoundException,
                                         IllegalArgumentException

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

extensibleEnumToStringRepresentation

public static String extensibleEnumToStringRepresentation(ExtensibleEnum e)

Returns a string representation of the given extensible enum but with dots (".") in the class name replaced with underscores ("_"). For example:
com.othercorp.statuses.SOMESTATUS => "com_othercorp_statuses.SOMESTATUS" Useful for creating JSON property names from enums.
