Ah, sorry, I didn't follow.

There's no convention, and because of compatibility, it's usually more
hassle than help to try and retrofit a convention. Parameters, to the
extent that there is a convention, were mostly done using the XML
attribute convention, which follows the typical Java bean property
convention, camel case but with the first letter lower case.

The latter was because I had a convention in C++, since adopted in Java
now, to leave acronyms upper case, or more accurately, to spell them
"correctly". So SP, IdP, SAML, HTTP, LDAP, etc.
