indentation help

[Mohan Mehra]

String password = "root123";
args1[5] = oidName;
Connection conn = null;

look at the above lines and tell me is it the correct way of indentation. i.e., including space before and after "=" sign.

That's fine.

It is a commonly used way of spacing. The 'correct' way is whatever the style guide you are using says. If you don't have a style guide, then the 'correct' way is whatever style you prefer.

*Indentation is how far the first non-white space character is from the left edge.

What you have looks fine to me.

Other than a few very general rules, such as:
1. Spacing improves readability.
2. Uses spaces for indentation, NOT tabs.
3. Follow basic naming conventions - class names start with a capital letter; most other things (fields, methods and parameters) start with a lowercase letter.
4. Be consistent.
you are probably the best person to decide what is clearest for you.

As for the links you've been given, remember that they are guidelines, NOT rules (even though they're written like rules).
Specifically, there are "rules" in those pages that I don't follow:

I always use ALL_CAPS for public constants.

I ignore most of section 3, because I simply don't agree with it (especially 3.1, which is utter nonsense).

I follow Sun's convention (see below) for matching braces ({}).

but that doesn't mean you have to.

I will say again though - whatever you do decide, be consistent about it.

The guidelines from Sun itself can be found here.

This is exactly the code conventions that I use, with the exception that it suggests 80 columns, and I normally use at least 160.
