Hiding fields in constructor and setter methods

[Kah Tang]

I'm having a question about hiding fields in setter methods and constructors. I know hiding fields is not according to Sun code standards, but is it really not permitted to use it in constructors and setters?

I now have something like

public final void setName(final String pName){
    name = pName;
}

Before, I had some ide generated code like:

public void setName(String name){
    this.name = name;
}

Personally, I prefer the ide generated version.
What do you think?

I agree with you, I always use the second form

I also always use the second form, I think hiding is not a problem in this case, but for the SCJD I am not sure.
