                                        int type)

This methods decorates a class name with the suffixes depending on the type of the class about to be created.

Parameters:

name - The class name to be decorated.

type - The type of the class about to be created.

Returns:

The decorated name.

checkID

public static boolean checkID(java.lang.String id)

This methods checks whether the passed repository identifier is valid or not.

Parameters:

id - The repository id to check.

Returns:

True if id is a valid repository identifier, false otherwise.

checkIdentifier

public static boolean checkIdentifier(java.lang.String name)

This methods checks an indetifier for validity in the target language. The identifier must match the following pattern ([a-z][A-Z])+([a-z][A-Z_][0-9])*.

Parameters:

name - The identifier to check.

Returns:

True if ??? false otherwise.

idToPackage

public static java.lang.String idToPackage(java.lang.String name)

Extract the Java package name from the IDL repository identifier.

Parameters:

name - The repository id to extract the package name from.

Returns:

The package information converted from the repository id.

idToClassname

public static java.lang.String idToClassname(java.lang.String name)

Convert the repository id to a class name.

Parameters:

name - The repository id to extract the class name from.

Returns:

The name of the class extracted from the repository id.

idToClass

public static java.lang.String idToClass(java.lang.String name)

                                         int type)

This method tries to extract the class name from the repository id.

Parameters:

name - The repository id name.

type - The type of the class to create.

Returns:

The Java class name for the repository id.

createIsATest

public static java.lang.Object createIsATest(java.lang.String id)

This returns an object which can be used to test if some other repository ID is an instance of this one.

Examples:

 RepoIDHelper.createIsATest( "IDL:MyObj:1.0" ).equals( 
         "IDL:MyObj:1.0" ) == true
 RepoIDHelper.createIsATest( "IDL:MyObj:1.1" ).equals(
         "IDL:MyObj:1.0" ) == true
 RepoIDHelper.createIsATest( "IDL:MyObj:1.0" ).equals(
         "IDL:MyObj:1.1" ) == false
 RepoIDHelper.createIsATest( "IDL:MyObj:2.0" ).equals(
         "IDL:MyObj:1.1" ) == false
 

Parameters:

id - The repository id to test.

Returns:

The test object or the id if the parsing failed.
