RangeCheck method naming convention in ArrayList

I was just going through the source code of ArrayList, found this method
private void RangeCheck(int index) Just wondering why this is not named according to camel case, was it a mistake?
Regards,
Joshua

I admit I've started doing that (and the inverse in C#)... IE: Non-private methods follow the camelCase convention... all private methods in PascalCase... so I can immediately see from the name what's private, and what's not.
I suppose might one regard this as sloppy; and it certainly goes against the established conventions... my collegues (those who've seen it) aren't actively apposed to it; though they're NOT going to adopt the practice themselves, so I feel I should probably decist this practice and "return to the fold"... consistency of a codebase is far important than telling if a method is private or not from some silly casing of the name.
Hmmm... On balance I think Jos is probably right... I just really hadn't thought it all through before.
Cheers. Keith.

  • Boolean method Sun naming convention?

    Does anyone know if the Sun manual for boolean methods has a naming convention? That is: are methods that return boolean supposed to start with 'is' or 'has' or something like that?
    I have the Sun conventions manual from 1997, and it doesn't say -- I'm wonderring if this is now out of data?
    L-

    I don't know what Sun coding guidelines says about this, if anything.
    But I believe that the Java API should be the de facto convention.
    Check what they do and do the same! In your case, yes, it seems that
    they use the "is" and "has" prefixes where appropriate.

  • Storage Location Naming Convention without WM!

    Dear all
    We are facing serious problem in our Storage Location for Raw Material.
    We have 4 types of Raw Material Seating (S), Panel (P), Metal (M), Wood (W). And they are all stored under Storage Location: RWSL.
    Requirement:
    Although we have visual guideline as to which industrial rack will store the type of Material, it is insufficient. We need a more refined storage location down to which BIN of the rack we will put the Raw Material.
    Due to limited time and resource, we cannot have WM implemented right now. Thus, we have come out with 2 alternative to overcome this problem:
    Alternative 01:
    We will use the Fixed Bin field in Storage Data 02 by putting the Bin number assigned to each Rack.
    E.g. For Seating material code:SEAT01, we will maintain the Fixed Bin as R12A01/A02, it means this Seating material SEAT01 will be stored at Rack 12, fixed bin A01 or A02.
    Question to Alternative 01: Will it cause problem in GR, GR, Transfer Posting and Stock Count?
    Alternative 02:
    Instead of going into details to put Fixed Bin field in Storage Data 2, we will abandan the existing Storage Location RMSL by introducing new format for Storage Location
    Here is the example of Alternative 02:
    For raw materials, we will use 4 digits location numbers, consistent with other Storage locations, the 4 digits storage location will start with u201CR _ _ _u201D to represent each location
    And,
    R _ _ _ is:
    R = Raw materials
    2nd digit = Division (S= Seating, P =Panel, W=Wood, M=Metal and W=Wood)
    3rd digit = Rack Number (A, B, C, Du2026 and etc.)
    4th digit = Rack Zone - each rack will broken down into zone, each rack can possibility have 2 to 3 zone. 1 Zone can be 1 colume of the Rack
    An example of a possible location and its meaning will be
    RSA1 = Raw materials warehouse, Seating division, Rack A, Zone 1
    RPB3 = Raw materials warehouse, Panel Division, Rack B, Zone 3
    The challenge of this is that instead of having 1 Raw Material Storage Location like RMSL, we will have a lot more storage locations each for division of Raw material due to the Rack Number we have as well as the Rack Zone.
    Question to Alternative 02:
    If we use this alternative, will it impact our future implementation of WM? From design wise, is it feasible?
    Please advise what is the best approach and the feasible design on it.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi, here is the Pro and Co of both approaches:
    Method 01: Use existing SLOC and add the Storage Bin info
    e.g. SLOC: STM1
             Storage Bin: RSC3, where RS = Rack Seating, C3 = column 3
    Pro 01:
    It will cause less effort as we only need to use LSMW for material master to add in the Storage Bin data for all material of SCM.
    Pro 02:
    I have tested out that in TCode MIGO, apart from SLOC, the pertaining Storage Bin data also appear.  Based on my discuss with Xian Chen, sometimes they use MB1C(GR), MB1A(GI) rather than MIGO due to speed issue, I will need to check the field status if can have Storage Bin field APPEAR, if can, it will solve the problem
    Con 01:
    The Storage Bin information will only appear in MMBE (Stock Overview) but will not appear in the standard SAP Inventory Report (e.g. MB52 Warehouse Stock). To view it from SAP Inventory Report, we may need to customize the standard report to show the new field Storage Bin. It needs Abap effort.
    Con 02:
    We must have a very good naming convention for Storage Bin. And again, in the above example, if a material is put in SLOC STM1 at Storage Bin RA A1 or C4, it will set a very rigid rule in the future if we need to change it, as I fear that one the Storage Bin has been used up. It will not allow us to change (need to do testing to find out)
    Con 03:
    Do we have the time to define all the Storage Bin for each SLOC? Operation wise, the store personnel needs to design it
    Method 02: Use the new SLOC
    Pro 01:
    RSA1 = Raw materials warehouse, Seating division, Rack A, Zone 1. More organized. Easy to tell the material is at which  Rack and which Zone of the Rack.
    Assumption:
    01. we must not have too many rack for one Seating division and also not too many Zone for each
          Division, else it will cause confusion
    02. 1 material should stick to 1 Rack 1 zone as much as possible, else later the PP consultant will 
         have hard to to perform GI due to too many SLOC assigned to a material.
    Pro 02:
    In report wise, we are able to show the SLOC in inventory report. No need to enhance the existing inventory report as we do not use Storage Bin.
    Con 01:
    If there are too many SLOC creation due to it. It may cause problem for PP perform GI as too many selection available for a material. This can be avoided if stick to the General Rule that one material is tied with one SLOC.

  • Class naming convention

    many a times i face difficulty with the Action/Class naming convention.
    Say, today ..i wrote a class.....tomorrow i have to rename the name of the class so that it becomes a more meaningful name and becomes unique and understandable with the newcomer classes.
    ...just to do this, i had to change the name of the class very frequently.
    Though i follow few conventions like :
    1) First letter of the class is Captial letter.
    2) use names which is relevant with the classs's functionality.
    but still i fall in problem....
    say, i want to populate a DataBase with my class.....whats the name i should keep ? tommorrow i am going to write another class which also populate the database . what do i do ?
    i first rename the old class with some meaningful name and then i write the new class with some other meaningful name.....but this kills time.....demands lots of changes....and so on...
    you know, i get trouble when my number of classes increases.
    do u feel the same ?
    what are the rules (NOT JAVA RULES but meaningful rules) i should remember to keep a class name ?

    You can name a class based on what it supposed to
    do...
    while naming it follow conventions like the ones
    which are mentioned in the code
    conventions/guidelines of your project.
    You will not be writing the same functionality in two
    different classes... would you??
    In case you may need to refractor(rename the class
    name) you may use java editor with refractoring
    capability to do it..
    With most of the java editors, you get this
    functionality.. e.g. doing a Alt+Shift+R would
    refractor your selected method, class, field etc...
    This applies to Eclipse

    Hope that helps..

  • No error generated if batch process load file uses wrong naming convention

    Another interesting one...
    When using the batch processing functionality of FDM, which can be executed by either:
    - FDM Workbench (manually)
    - Hyperion FDM Task Manager (scheduled)
    - upsShell.exe (scheduled and executed from a batch script)
    ..., one has to name the data file (to be loaded) using a specific file naming convention (i.e. "A~LOCATION~CATEGORY~PERIOD~RA.csv" format, for example). However, if one does not name the file correctly and then tries to process the file using batch processing functionality using any of the above three methods, FDM happily moves the file out of the OpenBatch folder and into a new folder, but the file is not loaded as it does not know where to map it to (as expected). However, there are no errors in Outbox\Logs\<username>.err to inform the user, so one is non the wiser that anything has gone wrong!
    When using FDM Workbench, an error is displayed on the screen (POV - "Batch Completed With Errors, ( 1 ) Files Contained Errors"), but this is the only indication of any error. And normally, one would be scheduling the load using upsShell.exe or Hyperion FDM Task Manager anyway...
    Has anyone else noticed this, or am I doing something wrong here? :-)

    Yes, as per my original post the only feedback on any POV errors appears to be when using the FDM Workbench Batch Processing GUI.
    Regarding the "Batch Process Report in FDM" you mentioned, are you referring to Analysis | Timeline accessible via FDM web client? Unfortunately this does not appear to provide much in the way of detail or errors, only general events that occurred. I cannot locate any batch process report, other than the log output I defined when calling upsShell.exe. However, this contains no POV errors...

  • Private vs. protected, naming conventions etc.

    I've been grappling with a couple of frustrations with Forte, and I'm
    interested in feedback from others on this list regarding approaches
    they may have adopted to address these.
    One is that in the Forte workshops there is no way to view only the
    public methods and attributes of a class (we're still using V2 here; I'm
    assuming that V3 has not changed this). While referring to appropriate
    technical documentation for a class is obviously important, I still find
    myself opening up classes in the workshops to inspect the methods and
    attributes available. (What I really want to see is an integrated class
    browser. I sure hope Forte is working on something like this, or will
    open up their development environment to support third-party extensions.
    But that's an aside.)
    A convention I just recently adopted in my work is to name private
    methods and attributes with a beginning underscore ("_"). That way the
    private elements are sorted to the top of the list and can be easily
    differentiated from public elements. I'm curious, though, whether others
    have adopted similar or different approaches.
    I've also felt a bit frustrated over the lack of support for protected
    attributes/methods for TOOL classes. This strikes me as a rather
    bothersome shortcoming. The only approach I can think of is to make such
    elements public, but adopt the same or similar naming conventions as a
    strong hint to developers to avoid using these in clients of these
    classes. Again, I'd be very interested in hearing how others have dealt
    with this issue.
    Thanks.

    I sent this once before, but the list seemed to be having trouble late last

    protected attributes. Philosophically speaking, protected and public
    attributes are EVIL!! (I say "philosophically speaking" because, in the
    Forte environment, there are some valid reasons for using them based upon
    the visibility constraints of the language. In other languages, C++ and
    Java, for example, it's not even philosophically speaking - they're just
    evil!!)
    One of the principal reasons for adopting the object paradigm is to
    tightly control the impact of change - to provide good boundaries of
    encapsulation that change does not ripple beyond. If you think about it,
    one of the measures of the success of a superclass is the number of
    subclasses that it has (especially for a good dabstract interface). This
    says you have very nicely captured the semantics of the application domain
    in the interface of the superclass. So, let's imagine a superclass with
    protected attributes that are used by each of its 100 subclasses (probably
    more than you would have, but I'm illustrating my point - incidentally, I'm
    not talking about a hierarchy 100 deep; I'm talking about 100 subclasses
    that are all direct decendants of the superclass). Now you go and change
    one of the attributes. You must go look at all 100 subclasses to determine
    the impact of change. This is exactly the kind of thing the object paradigm
    was designed to eliminate.
    Protected methods, on the other hand, would be nice.

    Forte inherits in a strange way when attributes are private. A
    superclass attribute that is made private is not accessible from any of
    its subclasses - this means that many of what you would consider private
    attributes in fact have to be public. Well, the definition of private means "not visible outside of the class
    where it is defined". I find it useful to think of the level of visibility
    the same as secrets. There are things that are not really secrets at all -
    it's ok if anyone knows them ("My name is Stephen"). These are public.
    Then, there are things that it's ok if my family knows, but I don't want
    the world to know - familial secrets, if you will ("I belch at the dinner
    table when I'm at home"). These are visible to descendant classes and we
    call them protected. Finally, there are things we don't want anyone else
    to know, no matter who they are ("I poisoned my mother-in-law"). These are
    private. We don't want anyone outside of ourselves to know these things.
    These are the classic definitions of public, protected and private (perhaps
    classic only because C++ defined them that way and everyone else just
    copied what it meant).
    Private attributes are not meant to be inherited by their subclasses.
    That's why they're private. And, yes, I would argue that that is completely
    correct. What you want, if you want them to be visible to subclasses, is
    "protected". Now, Forte doesn't support protected, but that's a different
    arguement - perhaps even an enhancement request.
    We also should not confuse what we need to do in a language/environment
    with what good OO principles are. For example, good OO design principles
    state that you do not have public or protected attributes. Period! You
    access them via accessors and mutators defined on the appropriate class.
    Now, in some environments, this will not give you the performance you need,
    so you open things up a bit. But, you shouldn't convince yourself that
    doing this is the ideal design, just that it was necessary for performance.
    The real problem here is that the performance of accessor and mutator
    functions is not fast enough. That's why we open it up. Not because it is
    good design. The proper way to fix the problem is to make accessors and
    mutators fast enough so that they can be used (C++, for example, does this
    with "inline" - not that C++ is my favorite language, it's not. But they
    have fixed this one area nicely.)
    Some would argue that this is correct and that inheritance does break thepure rules
    of encapsulation I don't think inheritance, properly handled (and Forte does properly
    handle it) breaks any rules of encapsulation. I would argure that the way
    they treat private attributes is quite correct.
    - but these people dont build applications!Hmmm... let's see... started building OO applications in 1985 (and building
    them ever since) in complex application domains like CAD/CAM/CAE, Air
    Traffic Control, Graphics/Imaging, Telecommunications, e-commerce,
    entertainment,... ...wrote (and teach) the Forte OO Analysis and Design
    course.
    I guess you're right. I don't build applications. I build robust,
    maintainable, extendable applications. ( ;-) ...nudge, nudge!)

    u can check the below the material also
    what is BAPI?
    BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
    I have answered this question before..
    A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
    You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
    A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
    BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
    The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
    Reading instances of SAP business objects
    GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
    The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
    GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
    The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
    Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
    The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
    Change( )
    The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
    Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
    The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
    Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
    Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

  • Component naming conventions

    I'm curious if there are recommended naming conventions for
    component instances when placed on the stage. Naming movie clips
    and buttons "something_mc" and "something_btn," respectively,
    allows Flash to recognize them as such, thus showing the list of
    methods and properties when accessing the object in ActionScript.
    Naming a movie clip "something" does not allow this list to appear.
    Similarly, if I programmatically create an FLVPlayback
    component through ActionScript, like
    var flvPlayer:fl.video.FLVPlayback = new
    fl.video.FLVPlayback();
    then I get the methods and properties list when tying
    flvPlayer.
    But if I drag the component onto the stage and give it an
    instance name of 'flvPlayer,' typing
    flvPlayer.
    does not bring up the list. Are there any names these should
    have in order for Flash to recognize it as a component?

    In AS2, there used to be custom component code hinting (_cb =
    combobox, _lb = listbox, etc.). But I believe they've been removed
    in AS3.
    However, there
    are still some hidden ones that trigger.
    You can find them all in the ActionsPanel_3.xml file located
    in:
    C:\Documents And Settings\[user]\Local Settings\Application
    Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\ActionsPanel\ActionScript_3
    They're at the very bottom of the file. You can add your own
    as well, just make sure to restart flash for the effect to take
    hold. If you completely mess up the file, there's a copy in the
    FirstRun directory under Program Files.
    Cheers,
    FlashTastic

  • Is it possible to control the naming convention used by Aperture when importing photos?  If so, how

    When I import photos from my camera, I have them placed into projects based on the date the photos were taken. However, I do not like the naming convention used by Aperture as it causes the projects to sort into a non-chronologial order. The convention is MMM-DD-YYYY and I want to change it to YYYY-MM-DD. Is it possible in Aperture 3.2.4 to do this?

    In the Import  panel you can edit the preset for the file name format to "Image year - image month - image day - index" for example; the preset for folder names seems to be gone in Aperture 3,3 - at least I cannot find it any longer. You only seem to be able to enter the folder name manually in the Import panel.

  • Looking for best practice on naming conventions

    Does anyone out there have a best practice on naming conventions that they could share.
    I'm starting to find the need to create objects and associated variables and actions.
    I can see this getting very messy, very quickly and would love to learn if someone has come up with a good set of guidelines that are both easy to follow and make perfect sense. (I know....what a balance to ask for!)
    Thanks
    Alan

    Hi Alan,
    Welcome to Adobe Community.
    There are couple of things that you can keep in mind while naming objects.
    When creating custom text caption styles, be sure to follow the correct naming conventions. Each caption style has a unique name, and you must
    use this name at the beginning of each associated bitmap filename. For example, if you create a text caption style named “Brightblue,” the five
    bitmap images that constitute the new style should be named as follows:
    Brightblue1.bmp, an image with no callouts
    Brightblue2.bmp, an image with a callout to the right or upper-right
    Brightblue3.bmp, an image with a callout to the left or upper-left
    Brightblue4.bmp, an image with a callout to the lower right
    Brightblue5.bmp, an image with a callout to the lower left
    Flash button-naming conventions
    Each SWF button contains three layers: a button, an icon, and an action layer.
    The SWF filename consists of the following elements:
    Acronym for playback control (“pbc”)
    Playback element identifier (“Btn” for button, “Bar” for bar, and so on)
    Name of the button (“play”).
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks!

  • Inconsistent naming conventions for Adobe Reader in software scan

    I just want to see if anyone knows why Adobe's free pdf Reader appears both as "Adobe Reader" AND "Adobe Acrobat Reader". I manage software licenses for an organization of 400+, and it's difficult to know if, for instance Adobe Acrobat - Reader 6.0.2 Update - 6.0.2, should or should not be counted as a purchased license without actually visiting each workstation to verify. I've spoken with our network operations personnel and they confirmed that it is not manually entered by our personnel, but that it is something in the software. ??
    Furthermore, why are the naming conventions not consistent even among those that can be identified easily? The list below is what I see when I run a report for all Adobe software on our network.

    Junlie et al,
    Starting with Acrobat 9 (announced on 6/2/08), Adobe will support the new ISO/IEC 19770-2 standard for universal software tagging. The new standard will allow customers to correctly identify the name, version, type and licensing status of Adobe software (starting with the Acrobat 9 family and later on as new versions of the products are introduced later this and next year).
    I DO understand your frustration with the in consistencies in the naming of our software, but the problem of software discovery goes well beyond our lack of discipline. This is one of the many reasons why Adobe invested time and effort with the industry group defining the new open standard, and in software asset management in general.
    More information about tagging standard can be found here: http://www.agnitioadvisors.com/info/content/view/44/1/
