Henri Yandell updated LANG-424:
-------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 3.0
> Improve Javadoc for StringUtils class
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: LANG-424
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-424
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Denise Fernandez
> Fix For: 3.0
>
>
> In the StringUtils class it would be helpful if in the following methods, the
> Javadoc is improved:
> substringAfter
> substringAfterLast
> I think there should be better documentation in the case where the separator
> string is not found in the search string: It should be explicity noted that
> in this case an empty string will be returned.
> In the following methods:
> substringBefore
> substringBeforeLast
> It should be documented that if the separator is not found in the search
> string, the search string is returned.
> I realise there are examples for both these cases, but I think that they
> should be separately and explicity documented as special cases. I had
> expected that substringAfterLast would return the original string if the
> separator was not found in it and this caused me some trouble.
