AttributeNameMapper

Fields Summary

Constructors Summary

Methods Summary
public void	addMapping(java.lang.String originalName, java.lang.String derivedName) param originalName the original/source/real name of the Attribute param derivedName the name by which it should be known
public void	deriveAll(java.lang.String[] originalNames) Setup mapping for all specified Attribute names. These add to (or replace) any existing mappings. param originalNames all names from which should be derived names
public java.lang.String	derivedToOriginal(java.lang.String derivedName) Reverse the effect of originalToDerived() param derivedName name derived from the original one
public void	dontMap(java.lang.String originalName) Don't perform any mapping on this name. Equivalent to calling addMapping( originalName, originalName ) param originalName the "real" name of the Attribute
public java.util.Set	getAttributeNames() Get the entire set of Attribute names, consisting of the names that were derived, and the names that do not require mapping.
public java.lang.String	matchName(java.lang.String derivedName, java.lang.String[] candidates) Attempt to match the derived name to one of the candidates. This facility is used when different runtime conditions present different original names which must be mapped to the same derived name. If a name is matched it is added as a mapping and the original name is returned.
public java.lang.String	originalToDerived(java.lang.String originalName) Maps Attribute names to another name. A common use is to construct legal Java identifiers, so that they can be exposed in an MBean proxy with get/set routines. For example "classpath-prefix" is not legal in a Java API; it could not generate the methods getclasspath-prefix() and setclasspath-prefix(). Any legal mapping is OK. Suggested possible mappings include: ClasspathPrefix, classpathPrefix, classpath_prefix, etc. These would result in the method names: getClasspathPrefix(), getclasspathPrefix(), getclasspath_prefix(), etc. param originalName original name
