    <p>Is there a standard Java interface with a <code>getName()</code> method that returns a string? I keep finding I have to make my own:</p> <pre><code>/** objects which know their own names, * e.g. that are indexed in a Map by their name */ interface NamedObject { public String getName() } </code></pre> <p>but I'd much rather use a standard one if it's out there.</p> <hr> <p>edit for an example -- which I think is somewhat of a red herring to my question, so I specifically do <strong>not</strong> want answers suggesting alternatives that are specific to the following situation. (I've run into the need for a <code>NamedObject</code> interface several times, so I was hoping it was something in a standard library.)</p> <p>But since you asked for some background context, here it is:</p> <pre><code>@Override public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) { Object obj = e.getSource(); if (obj instanceof NamedObject) { String name = ((NamedObject)obj).getName(); /* do something based on object's name */ } } </code></pre> <p>In my current project, I have a system with three elements: a source, a transmission method, and a receiver. I want to get some information from the source to a receiver, and I control the implementation of both. The transmission method unfortunately is stuck using an object that supports ChangeListener, so all the receiver gets a <code>ChangeEvent</code> with which I can get a source object.</p> <p>So I have to use implied shared semantics between my source and receiver, i.e. there's a shared understanding that the source object passed in the ChangeEvent is of class X, where I can pick class X. In this case, all I really care about is the name, from which I can get additional data. I can define my own interface, I was just hoping to be able to use a standard interface since the source and receiver are in different .jar files...</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.
