public class ResourceNameTranslate

extends java.lang.Object

This class converts a String representation of a ResourceNameComponent into the appropriate structure and vice versa. This is particularly useful for mapping String names into the RAD space. e.g. Id.10001/field.BACTERIOLOGY maps to a ResourceNameComponent array of two elements. The element before the period is the name_string and the element after the period is the value_string This follows the specification for Stringified NameComponents as specified in the updated NamingService This seems appropriate because the ResourceNameComponent was borrowed from that specification.
