private String createResultForNames(HttpServletResponse response, VariablesSecureApp vars, String colName) {

String windowtabId = vars.getStringParameter("inpnewfWindowtabId"); NEWF_Windowtab windowTab = OBDal.getInstance().get(NEWF_Windowtab.class, windowtabId); String dbprefix = windowTab.getModule().getModuleDBPrefixList().get(0).getName().toString();

colName = colName.replace(" ", ""); StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();

String dbcolumn_name = colName; String full_prefix = ""; if (windowTab.isExistingTab()) { full_prefix = "EM_" + dbprefix; } else { full_prefix = dbprefix; } if (!dbcolumn_name.toLowerCase().startsWith(full_prefix.toLowerCase() + "_")) { dbcolumn_name = full_prefix + "_" + dbcolumn_name; } if (dbcolumn_name.length() > 30) { dbcolumn_name = dbcolumn_name.substring(0, 29); }

result.append("new Array(\"inpdbColumnName\", \"" + dbcolumn_name + "\")"); result.append(",new Array(\"inpcolumnName\", \"" + dbcolumn_name + "\")"); return result.toString(); }
