Method Detail

makeDisplayName

public static java.lang.String makeDisplayName(java.lang.String name)

Converts a Java name into a human readable form. A mixed-case Java name will be split at upper case letters, i. e. a space will be inserted before each upper case letter and the letter itself will be converted to lower case if it is not the first character.
If the name is all upper case, it will be returned as it is if it does not contain an underscore character. Otherwise, all underscore characters will be replaced by a space and the remaining characters will be converted to lowercase (except the first character). Examples:
"AddToDatabase" -> "Add to database" "ZIP" -> "ZIP" "COMPANY_ID" -> "Company id"

Parameters:

name - Name to convert or null

Returns:

Converted string or null

Returns:

makeXMLName

public static java.lang.String makeXMLName(java.lang.String name)
