Class MetElement

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--net.agmodel.weatherData.MetElement

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable, Serializable

public final class MetElement

extends Object

implements Serializable, Comparable

A set of type-safe constants that represent the weather elements that can be requested from MetBroker Supports locale dependent names for each element, default element units, and iteration through the set. Use them just like standard int constants eg MetElement.RAIN
(Uses net.agmodel.resources.WeatherDataResources for the element names). Follows the style for typed classes described in "Create enumerated constants in Java" by Eric Armstrong JavaWorld July 1997
