All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<GenericName>, GenericName, LocalName

Direct Known Subclasses:

DefaultMemberName, DefaultTypeName
```
public class DefaultLocalName
extends AbstractName
implements LocalName
```
Identifier within a name space for a local object. Local names are names which are directly accessible to and maintained by a name space. Names are local to one and only one name space. The name space within which they are local is indicated by the scope.
DefaultLocalName can be instantiated by any of the following methods:
- DefaultNameFactory.createLocalName(NameSpace, CharSequence).
- DefaultNameFactory.createGenericName(NameSpace, CharSequence[]) with an array of length 1.
- DefaultNameFactory.parseGenericName(NameSpace, CharSequence) with no occurrence of the separator in the path.
- Similar static convenience methods in Names.
Immutability and thread safety
This class is immutable and thus inherently thread-safe if the NameSpace and CharSequence arguments given to the constructor are also immutable. Subclasses shall make sure that any overridden methods remain safe to call from multiple threads and do not change any public LocalName state.
Since:

0.3

```
protected DefaultLocalName(NameSpace scope,
                           CharSequence name)
```
    Constructs a local name from the given character sequence. If the character sequence is an instance of InternationalString, then its toString(Locale.ROOT) method will be invoked for fetching an unlocalized name. Otherwise the CharSequence.toString() method will be used.
    
    Parameters:
    
    scope - the scope of this name, or null for a global scope.
    
    name - the local name (never null).
- Method Detail
  - castOrCopy
```
public static DefaultLocalName castOrCopy(LocalName object)
```
    Returns a SIS local name implementation with the values of the given arbitrary implementation. This method performs the first applicable action in the following choices:
    
    If the given object is null, then this method returns null.
    
    Otherwise if the given object is an instance of MemberName or TypeName, then this method delegates to castOrCopy(…) method of the corresponding subclass.
    
    Otherwise if the given object is already an instance of DefaultLocalName, then it is returned unchanged.
    
    Otherwise a new DefaultLocalName instance is created with the same values than the given name.
    Parameters:
    
    object - the object to get as a SIS implementation, or null if none.
    
    Returns:
    
    a SIS implementation containing the values of the given object (may be the given object itself), or null if the argument was null.
  - scope
```
public NameSpace scope()
```
    Returns the scope (name space) in which this name is local. This method returns a non-null value in all cases, even when the scope given to the constructor was null.
    
    Specified by:
    
    scope in interface GenericName
    
    Specified by:
    
    scope in class AbstractName
    
    Returns:
    
    the scope of this name.
  - depth
```
public final int depth()
```
    Returns the depth, which is always 1 for a local name.
    
    Specified by:
    
    depth in interface GenericName
    
    Specified by:
    
    depth in interface LocalName
    
    Overrides:
    
    depth in class AbstractName
    
    Returns:
    
    the depth of this name.
  - getParsedNames
```
public final List<DefaultLocalName> getParsedNames()
```
    Returns the sequence of local name for this name. Since this object is itself a local name, this method always returns a singleton containing only this.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getParsedNames in interface GenericName
    
    Specified by:
    
    getParsedNames in interface LocalName
    
    Specified by:
    
    getParsedNames in class AbstractName
    
    Returns:
    
    the local names making this generic name, without the scope. Shall never be null neither empty.
  - head
```
public final LocalName head()
```
    Returns this since this object is already a local name.
    
    Specified by:
    
    head in interface GenericName
    
    Specified by:
    
    head in interface LocalName
    
    Overrides:
    
    head in class AbstractName
    
    Returns:
    
    this.
  - tip
```
public final LocalName tip()
```
    Returns this since this object is already a local name.
    
    Specified by:
    
    tip in interface GenericName
    
    Specified by:
    
    tip in interface LocalName
    
    Overrides:
    
    tip in class AbstractName
    
    Returns:
    
    this.
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns a locale-independent string representation of this local name. This string does not include the scope, which is consistent with the parsed names definition.
    
    Specified by:
    
    toString in interface GenericName
    
    Specified by:
    
    toString in interface LocalName
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class AbstractName
    
    Returns:
    
    a local-independent string representation of this name.
  - toInternationalString
```
public InternationalString toInternationalString()
```
    Returns a local-dependent string representation of this local name.
    
    Specified by:
    
    toInternationalString in interface GenericName
    
    Overrides:
    
    toInternationalString in class AbstractName
    
    Returns:
    
    a localizable string representation of this name.
  - compareTo
```
public int compareTo(GenericName name)
```
    Compares this name with the specified object for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this name lexicographically precedes, is equal to, or follows the specified object.
    
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface Comparable<GenericName>
    
    Overrides:
    
    compareTo in class AbstractName
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the other name to compare with this name.
    
    Returns:
    
    -1 if this name precedes the given one, +1 if it follows, 0 if equals.
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object object)
```
    Compares this local name with the specified object for equality.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class AbstractName
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - the object to compare with this name for equality.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the given object is equal to this name.
