UseLocaleWithCaseConversions


UseLocaleWithCaseConversions
When doing a String.toLowerCase()/toUpperCase() call, use a Locale.  This avoids
problems with certain locales, i.e. Turkish.
      
		
		
		    
    			This rule is defined by the following XPath expression:
    			
    			
                    
//PrimaryExpression
[PrimaryPrefix/Name
 [ends-with(@Image, 'toLowerCase') or ends-with(@Image,
'toUpperCase')]
 ]
[PrimarySuffix[position() = 1]/Arguments[@ArgumentCount=0]]
     
            
  
		    
		    
	    
	    
        
        
        Example:
            
                    
    
class Foo {
 // BAD
 if (x.toLowerCase().equals("list"))...
 /*
 This will not match "LIST" when in Turkish locale
 The above could be
 if (x.toLowerCase(Locale.US).equals("list")) ...
 or simply
 if (x.equalsIgnoreCase("list")) ...
 */
 // GOOD
 String z = a.toLowerCase(Locale.EN);
}
