I don't think it's "bad" coding. Documentation generated from this signature might be a bit clearer than documentation generated from a signature where the argument was, e.g., "nameValue", since it would be more immediately obvious that the argument "name" corresponds to the property "name". That said, the code itself is clearer the other way. Six of one and half a dozen of the other. (Programming is so often like that.)
Pretty much. You either muddy up your code or your docs. This is probably why this kind of code is prevalent in Java. They've had strong doc tools nearly from the beginning. Scott On 11/7/06, Mike Keesey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
