Adam,
>From the JavaBeans spec:
When we use design patterns to infer a property or event name, we need to decide what
rules
to follow for capitalizing the inferred name. If we extract the name from the middle
of a normal
mixedCase style Java name then the name will, by default, begin with a capital letter.
Java programmers are accustomed to having normal identifiers start with lower case
letters.
Vigorous reviewer input has convinced us that we should follow this same conventional
rule
for property and event names.
Thus when we extract a property or event name from the middle of an existing Java
name, we
normally convert the first character to lower case. However to support the occasional
use of all
upper-case names, we check if the first two characters of the name are both upper case
and if
so leave it alone. So for example,
"FooBah" becomes "fooBah"
"Z" becomes "z"
"URL" becomes "URL"
