Subject: [Springframework-developer] PoolingConfig and getXxxCount

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?
