Given:   String  str1= "abc\"def";
        String  str2= "\"1234\"";        
Required:  String str1 = "abcdef";

Is there any criteria to judge whether the code is of system

A Dog gets promoted to a Dalmatian object by gaining extra
Dalmatian-specific fields.
A Dalmatian gets demoted to Dog object by stripping off its Dalmatian

I'm looking into the Hibernate O/R library to potentially cut down on the
