    <p>I know there are plenty of <code>upper()</code> methods in Java and other frameworks like Apache commons lang, which convert a String to all upper case.</p> <p>Are there any common libraries that provide a method like <code>isUpper(String s)</code> and <code>isLower(String s)</code>, to check if all the characters in the String are upper or lower case?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Many good answers about converting to Upper and comparing to this. I guess I should have been a bit more specific, and said that I already had thought of that, but I was hoping to be able to use an existing method for this.</p> <p>Good comment about possible inclusion of this in apache.commons.lang.StringUtils. Someone has even submitted a patch (20090310). Hopefully we will see this soon. <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-471" rel="noreferrer">https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-471</a></p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>What I needed this method for, was to capitalize names of hotels that sometimes came in all uppercase. I only wanted to capitalize them if they were all lower or upper case. I did run in to the problems with non letter chars mentioned in some of the posts, and ended up doing something like this:</p> <pre><code>private static boolean isAllUpper(String s) { for(char c : s.toCharArray()) { if(Character.isLetter(c) &amp;&amp; Character.isLowerCase(c)) { return false; } } return true; } </code></pre> <p>This discussion and differing solutions (with different problems), clearly shows that there is a need for a good solid isAllUpper(String s) method in commons.lang</p> <p>Until then I guess that the <code>myString.toUpperCase().equals(myString)</code> is the best way to go.</p>

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.
