JDK-5072267 - Should have a way to communicate client locale to server
Description
As of JDK 7 b37 the EventClient API makes use of a requestedlease, first as a parameter of one of the constructors, second by defining a method getRequestedLease().
Considering the most common use case is perhaps not the constructor that takes a lease, I suggest to rename the parameter 'lease' and the method 'getLease()'.
By the way the API defines the field DEFAULT_LEASE_TIMEOUT, not DEFAULT_REQUESTED_LEASE_TIMEOUT or the like.
Comments
EVALUATION This will be fixed as part of the fix for 5072267.

EVALUATION A lease, in the real world, is a contract that allows you to own something for a limited period of time. It is not the period of time itself. So I think the names requestedLeaseTime and getRequestedLeaseTime are OK as they stand and the proposed change would be for the worse. On the other hand, we could reasonably rename DEFAULT_LEASE_TIMEOUT to DEFAULT_REQUESTED_LEASE_TIMEOUT.
