    <p>Method names should be verbs, not nouns.</p> <p>So if you want something generic, I'd just go with <code>wrap()</code></p> <blockquote> <h2>Naming a Method</h2> <p>Although a method name can be any legal identifier, code conventions restrict method names. <strong>By convention, method names should be a verb in lowercase or a multi-word name that begins with a verb in lowercase, followed by adjectives, nouns, etc.</strong> In multi-word names, the first letter of each of the second and following words should be capitalized. Here are some examples:<br> <code>run</code><br> <code>runFast</code><br> <code>getBackground</code><br> <code>getFinalData</code><br> <code>compareTo</code><br> <code>setX</code><br> <code>isEmpty</code></p> </blockquote> <p>Source: <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial" rel="nofollow">The Java&trade; Tutorials</a> > <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java" rel="nofollow">Learning the Java language</a> > <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/classes.html" rel="nofollow">Classes</a> > <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/methods.html" rel="nofollow">Defining Methods</a></p> <hr> <p>And about reusing method names. It works, but it requires some care. Here's an example:</p> <p><strong>An object</strong> with many constructors:</p> <pre><code>public class Wrapper{ private final String type; public Wrapper(final byte inner){ type = "byte"; } public Wrapper(final short inner){ type = "short"; } public Wrapper(final int inner){ type = "int"; } public Wrapper(final char inner){ type = "char"; } public Wrapper(final Object inner){ type = "Object"; } public Wrapper(final float inner){ type = "float"; } public Wrapper(final double inner){ type = "double"; } public Wrapper(final boolean inner){ type = "boolean"; } public String getType(){ return type; } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Some factory methods</strong> to get such objects:</p> <pre><code>public static Wrapper wrap(final byte inner){ return new Wrapper(inner); } public static Wrapper wrap(final int inner){ return new Wrapper(inner); } public static Wrapper wrap(final short inner){ return new Wrapper(inner); } public static Wrapper wrap(final Object inner){ return new Wrapper(inner); } public static Wrapper wrap(final boolean inner){ return new Wrapper(inner); } public static Wrapper wrap(final char inner){ return new Wrapper(inner); } public static Wrapper wrap(final float inner){ return new Wrapper(inner); } public static Wrapper wrap(final double inner){ return new Wrapper(inner); } </code></pre> <p><strong>Test code:</strong></p> <pre><code>public static void main(final String[] args){ final byte byteValue = (byte) 0x12; final short shortValue = (short) 10; System.out.println(wrap(byteValue).getType()); System.out.println(wrap(10).getType()); System.out.println(wrap(shortValue).getType()); System.out.println(wrap("").getType()); System.out.println(wrap(true).getType()); System.out.println(wrap('a').getType()); System.out.println(wrap(13.1f).getType()); System.out.println(wrap(13.1d).getType()); } </code></pre> <p><strong>Output (as expected):</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>byte<br> int<br> short<br> Object<br> boolean<br> char<br> float<br> double</p> </blockquote>

    1. CO+1, Although they can't just re-use `wrap` because *"method signatures for different types may be the same"*, in which case I'd go for `wrapByte`, `wrapInt`, etc.

    2. COWhat about an adjective like `new`. If I have `Bar baz = Foo.new(Bazil);`? I guess I should say `createNew()` :)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
