Checking if a class is java.lang.Enum

Question

I\'m trying to know if a class is an Enum, but I think I\'m missing something:

if (test.MyEnum.class instanceof Enum.class)
 obj = resultWrapper.getEnum         


        

Answer 1

If you're talking about Java 5 new feature - enum (it's not very new actually), then this is the way to go:

if (obj.getClass().isEnum()) {

...
}

If Enum is your custom class, then just check that obj instanceof Enum.
