Class ComparisonType

java.lang.Object
  story.dbcore.misc.ComparisonType

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable, GenericType, RenderableObject

public class ComparisonType
extends java.lang.Object
implements GenericType, java.lang.Comparable, java.io.Serializable, RenderableObject

Manually implemented enum for types. Allows classes to specify types to one another by passing one of the fields of this class rather than a string. No public constructor.
