The public javadocs on Region#getName say:
Returns the name of this region. A region's name
* can be any non-empty String providing it does not
* contain the name separator, a forward slash (/).
Here is the code from LocalRegion that validates the name:
static void validateRegionName(String name)
{
if (name == null) {
throw new
IllegalArgumentException(LocalizedStrings.LocalRegion_NAME_CANNOT_BE_NULL.toLocalizedString());
}
if (name.length() == 0) {
throw new
IllegalArgumentException(LocalizedStrings.LocalRegion_NAME_CANNOT_BE_EMPTY.toLocalizedString());
}
if (name.indexOf(SEPARATOR) >= 0) {
throw new
IllegalArgumentException(LocalizedStrings.LocalRegion_NAME_CANNOT_CONTAIN_THE_SEPARATOR_0.toLocalizedString(SEPARATOR));
}
}
