    Enum Constants
    Enum Constant and Description
    `DROPONCHANGE` Cache is dropped whenever criteria changes.
    `DROPONSHORTENING` Cache is retained as long as the only changes to criteria make the criteria more restrictive as determined by `ResultSet.compareCriteria()`.

- - ### Enum Constant Detail

    - #### DROPONCHANGE

          public static final CriteriaPolicy DROPONCHANGE

      Cache is dropped whenever criteria changes.

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "dropOnChange".

    - #### DROPONSHORTENING

          public static final CriteriaPolicy DROPONSHORTENING

      Cache is retained as long as the only changes to criteria make the criteria more restrictive as determined by `ResultSet.compareCriteria()`.

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "dropOnShortening".

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static CriteriaPolicy[] values()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (CriteriaPolicy c : CriteriaPolicy.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static CriteriaPolicy valueOf(java.lang.String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

    - #### getValue

          public java.lang.String getValue()

      Specified by:
        `getValue` in interface `ValueEnum`
