Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "You must be able to view hidden files and folders in the C:\Documents and Settings\your_user_id folder."

A block of code is set as follows:

final String BO_CMS_NAME = "server";
final String BO_AUTH_TYPE = "secEnterprise";

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

final String BO_CMS_NAME = "server";
final String BO_AUTH_TYPE = "secEnterprise";

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Double-click the group or right-click and select Rename from the context menu."
