Values

Any valid string that is no longer than 28 characters. Longer names are adjusted to fit by removing leading package names, if necessary. For example, if the invoking class is com.example.MainApp, the full name is used, but if the invoking class is com.example.dictionaryAndThesaurus.multilingual.mainApp, the name multilingual.mainApp is used, because it is the longest combination of class name and rightmost package name that fits into the available length.

If the class name itself is more than 28 characters long, it is truncated to fit. For example, com.example.mainApplicationForSecondTestCase becomes mainApplicationForSecondTest.

• Bindings mode is ignored if set and, if set, can only be set to blanks.
• Client mode can be set and used.
