The rules for property names are really pretty simple. They're explained in the Java``Doc for the {{{java.beans.Introspector.decapitalize}}} mehtod as well as in the [http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/docs/spec.html JavaBeans Specification] (Section ''8.8 Capitalization of inferred names''). As you might expect, the rules are actually codified in {{{java.beans.Introspector.decapitalize}}}. Here's a snippet from the Spec:

...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,[[BR]]
 "Foo``Bah" becomes "fooBah"[[BR]]
 "Z" becomes "z"[[BR]]
 "URL" becomes "URL"[[BR]]
We provide a method Introspector.decapitalize which implements this conversion rule.
