    • dbNameToClassName

      public static String dbNameToClassName(String columnName)
      Converts a database name to a Java class name. The naming conventions used to allow for this are as follows: a database name (table or column) is in all capital letters, and the words are separated by an underscore (for example: NEAT_ENTITY_NAME or RANDOM_FIELD_NAME); a Java name (ejb or field) is in all lower case letters, except the letter at the beginning of each word (for example: NeatEntityName or RandomFieldName). The convention of using a capital letter at the beginning of a class name in Java, or a lower-case letter for the beginning of a variable name in Java is also used along with the Java name convention above.
      Parameters:
      columnName - The database name
      Returns:
      The Java class name

    • dbNameToVarName

      public static String dbNameToVarName(String columnName)

The convention of using a capital letter at the beginning of a class name in Java, or a lower-case letter for the beginning of a variable name in Java is also used along with the Java name convention above.
