The local name of the receiver within its parent.

Returns:

The local name of the receiver within its parent.

getTypedName

public String getTypedName()

Description copied from interface: ILocator

The qualified local name of the receiver within its parent that includes the type specification for the destination if appropriate. This is for example a filename with its correct suffix. Some locator may return the same name as "getLocalName".

Returns:
