Description Jesse Glick 2002-07-08 20:48:54 UTC 
[dev jul 08; have seen in earlier builds too] Not
sure exactly when this happens; the exception is
informational so I only noticed it on console. Not
sure if it is a problem in winsys or settings sys.

Comment 2 Jan Pokorsky 2002-07-09 21:04:14 UTC 
Caused by David Strupl's commit (SerialDataConvertor.java 1.7). There 
is strange requirement in DataObject.rename

 if (name != null && name.trim ().length ()==0) throw IAE

I am not aware a reason why the name can not be e.g. \space.ext. It is 
possible to create file \space.txt via the template wizard. So why not 
allow to change name to \space.txt?
Comment 3 Jan Pokorsky 2002-07-10 14:47:56 UTC 
The condition was added as the implementation of issue #19772. 
The empty name is valid case IMO. At least it is still possible to 
create new DOs with an empty name. Also javadoc does not mention 
anything about empty names.

From some point of view it makes sense to have setting with empty
name. But on the other hand implementing this issue would just make
migration to Registry API more complication because each binding in
Registry must have a non-empty binding name.
