[sca-j] NEW ISSUE: Clarify the name implied by setter method for property and reference names

TARGET: sca-javaci-draft-20070926.doc

sca-javacaa-1.1-spec-cd01-rev1.pdf

DESCRIPTION:

@Property and @Reference annotations without the name attribute applied on

setter methods require the property/reference name to be computed from the

method name.  In CAA and CI specs we mention "... name of the field or

setter".  What happens in the following case?

public class WeirdHello {

    @Property

    public void setPrefix(String prefix) {

    ...

    }

    @Property

    public void setprefix(String prefix) {

    ...

   }

    @Property

    public void setID(String id) {

    ...

   }

   ...

}

There is nothing syntactically wrong with this class.  What will be the

propery names in this case?  Will setID() method result in a property with

name ID or iD ?  Is it an error?  It is not clear and we need to make it

clear.

PROPOSAL: Clarify that the name implied by the setter method is the name

obtained by removing "set" from the method name.  For e.g. setID() will

result in "ID", setid() will result in "id" and setPrefix() will result in

"Prefix" not "prefix".
