Naming Conventions
uPortal 3 Naming Conventions
uPortal developers are asked to follow the following naming conventions when writing new java classes and interfaces for uPortal 3 and beyond.
Java Interfaces
Java interfaces should begin with the letter I.
Example: IPortletDefinition
Java Implementation Classes
When only one implementation is expected, use the term Impl.
Example: PortletDefinitionImpl.
When more than one implementation is expected, use a name that describes the implementation.
Example: SpringPortletDefinitionDao.
Names Including Acronyms
Avoid using acronyms in names whenever possible. If an acronym must be used, make the first letter upper case and the remaining letters lower case.
Example: JdbcPortletDefinitionDao.
