No. The trick we used in our project is to put a presentable name of the
collection in MetaData
and then let the collection real name be a generated unique one.

So according to what I understand, it would be possible to change the
presentable name of the collection by changing it in the metadata ?
Since the name used to access the collection is the one stored in the
metadata, I want to change this one.
If it is indeed possible, would you mind showing me a piece of code that
does it ?
Thanks, that would really help out here !!
I don't have any code handy, but the way I've done this is to
create a ListRenderer class that accepts Collection IDs, then
sets up a Thread to query the database for each Collection's
metadata, changing the displayed ID to a localized name taken
from the metadata as each Thread finishes.
This is just done by adding a renderer to the JList (or whatever
is displaying the collection name).

It may have been the provocative title of a book and then a movie
adaptation, but Prozac Nation is no longer just a notion within
the realm of entertainment, nor even a living reality only among
those actually taking the drug. The 24 million prescriptions in
the UK (in an adult population of 42.5 million) have now entered
the nation's water supply in significant but undisclosed amounts.
