Andrew Rubinger updated SHRINKDESC-67:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Rename "setX(param)" methods which return the "this" instance to "x(param)" (was: Rename "setX(param)" methods which return the Descriptor "this" instance to "x(param)")
> Rename "setX(param)" methods which return the "this" instance to "x(param)"
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SHRINKDESC-67
> URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKDESC-67
> Project: ShrinkWrap Descriptors
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Andrew Rubinger
>
> For example:
> Application5Descriptor.securityRole().setRoleName(roleName)
> Here the API looks backwards. "securityRole()" is really a "get" operation, because it doesn't return the descriptor, but instead SecurityRoleType. So it should be named "getSecurityRole()".
> "setRoleName" on the other hand is used in method chaining, so according to the conventions we use in ShrinkWrap alongside Fowler's definition for fluent APIs in DSLs:
> http://martinfowler.com/bliki/FluentInterface.html
> ...then "setRoleName(param)" should become simply "roleName".
