Re: What is Foo ??

[Ron Sigler]

'FOO'  is derived from the first syllable of the acronymn 'FUBAR' which stands for 'F----- up beyond all recognition'.  As you can see, It's a very technical term and depending on context can mean practically anything.  In the context of the examples you provided, it stands for what you said i.e., 'My...'.   Hope this helps.   Ron S  -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list for discussion about Sun Microsystem's Java Servlet API Technology.

I see it all over the place, in most examples : setFoo() getFoo(), Foo.class , import java.foo.* ??   Is it a generic term used in examples like someone would say MyClass or myMethod ? Or am I just passing next to a very important concept ??   This might be a stupid question, but hey, like you never said anything dumb !!   Thanx for answering me, not knowing won't make me a worse programmer (?) nor an insomniac, but i don't want to die ignoring this!   Regards, Arnaud D
