[Springframework-developer] isXxx/getXxx for boolean properties

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

I've just noticed that we're slightly inconsistent in our naming for =
getters that return boolean bean properties. Most of them are called =
"isXxx", but 9 of them in the entire codebase are called "getXxx".

We should find a consistent rule here. For example, should we prefer =
"isProxyTargetClass" or "getProxyTargetClass"? Neither is nice English, =
so I guess it's more about a convention then about nice method names.

I tend to prefer the "isXxx" versions for all boolean properties. That =
would also be easier in terms of affected classes, as we just have 9 =
accessors that do not conform to that rule (i.e. 9 to be deprecated).

On the other hand, "getXxx" might result in slightly nicer English in =
some boolean cases...

Opinions?
