[jira] [Created] (LANG-696) Deprecate ClassUtils getShortClassName in favor of Class getSimpleName

Deprecate ClassUtils getShortClassName in favor of Class getSimpleName
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LANG-696
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-696
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: lang.*
    Affects Versions: 2.6
            Reporter: Gary D. Gregory
            Assignee: Gary D. Gregory
             Fix For: 3.0


Added two null-safe ClassUtils.getSimpleName() APIs.

Subject: [Lang] ClassUtils getShortClassName != Class getSimpleName
To: Commons Developers List <de...@commons.apache.org>


Hi All:

Should we deprecate ClassUtils getShortClassName in favor of Class getSimpleName?

The behavior of getShortClassName is undocumented for arrays in the Javadoc and is different from getSimpleName.

When I replace the guts of getShortClassName to call getSimpleName, one test fails:

junit.framework.ComparisonFailure: null expected:<[ToStringStyleTest.]Person[name=John Q. ...> but was:<[]Person[name=John Q. ...>
    at junit.framework.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:81)
    at junit.framework.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:87)
    at org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.ShortPrefixToStringStyleTest.testPerson(ShortPrefixToStringStyleTest.java:86)

For now, I've made a note in the Javdoc to consider using getSimpleName.

Matt Benson commented on LANG-696:
----------------------------------

+1; however I think either of "Map.Entry" or "Map$Entry" is actually more useful than "Entry".  I propose:

* eliminate redundancy by renaming {{getShortClassName()}} to {{getShortName()}}, returning simple name all the way up to top-level class
* add {{getSimpleName()}} for null-safe pass-through to {{Class.getSimpleName()}}
* document the difference between the two, with examples
* smile

david cogen commented on LANG-696:
----------------------------------

I do not believe it should be deprecated, and the suggestion to consider using Class.getSimpleName() is misleading, because there are more differences than the one mentioned. For example, getShortClassName() formats an anonymous class like "klass.1" but Class.getSimpleName() formats it as "".

I rely on getShortClassName()'s behavior and use it frequently.

------------------------------------

So you're suggesting we have: 

  public static String getShortName(Object object, String valueIfNull) 
  public static String getShortName(Class<?> cls) 
  public static String getShortName(String className) 
  public static String getSimpleName(Class<?> cls) 
  public static String getSimpleName(Object object, String valueIfNull) 

With the difference between 'Short' and 'Simple' being Map.Entry vs Entry? We also use getShortName in a few places and will have to decide which method we wish to use. 

Given that the maintenance for the method isn't huge; I'm beginning to think we should punt on this for 3.0 and deal with at a later date. We can live with a deprecated getShortName if need be.

+1 to rename getShortClassName to getSimpleName; sitting on top of the
JDK getSimpleName and providing null safety and whatever other

You must mean deprecate getShortClassName (to remove in 4.0) and add getSimpleName. Right?

Henri Yandell commented on LANG-696:
------------------------------------

The only issue I see is that inner classes report as only their class name in the new JVM code and not the surrounding class. So "Entry" instead of "Map.Entry". Our old code produced "Map.Entry". I see this in 5 test fails, one of which is your ToStringStyle fail.

We need to decide which is 'more' correct. Do we wrap the JVM method and fix this, or do we change our get(String) method to stop reporting the surrounding class.

Nope. Remove getShortClassName and add getSimpleName. We're not
released yet so we can (and should) still make backwards compat
changes.
