Boolean properties in RA not following standard conventions

[timfox]

Why are boolean resource adapters not following the standard isXXX()/setXXX() convention, and instead use getXXX()/setXXX() ??

I guess probably because it wasn't originally written by one of our team.

I was going to bring this up on forums when I did.. but for some reason I forgot.

JMX uses instrospection to access those properties. And those properties are the type class Boolean. (not native boolean).

for boolean, java Beans introspection will define those as isProp and setProp

For Boolean, java Beans introspection will define those as setProp and getProp.


We need to decide which one we are going to use. As right now those get are not being introspected. It' s like those properties are write only.

I mean.. when I was working on the JCA adapter.

I had issues with some of the properties not being picked up by introspection. but I' m not the one who originally made everything set/get. ;-)
