[Springframework-developer] PoolingConfig and getXxxCount

[<jue...@we...>]

I've just deprecated PoolingConfig's "int getActive" and "int getFree" =
methods in favor of "getActiveCount" and "getIdleCount", to make their =
naming consistent with the rest of the framework.

We've had various namings for such methods before, for example =
"getNrOfXxx" or "getXxxCount". Since 1.1, everything should be named =
"getXxxCount". PoolingConfig just slipped through my review...

Interestingly, most Jakarta Commons projects use "getNumXxx" naming. =
Well, the most important thing is probably just consistency, whatever =
naming pattern chosen.

In particular, I believe that such methods that return a count should =
explicitly express this in their name. Therefore, a name like =
"getActive" is not clear enough, IMO: It could also return an active =
object...

Thoughts? Objections?
