[hibernate-dev] Naming and "naming strategies"

[Steve Ebersole]

So at the moment I have the following ImplicitNamingStrategy impls:

1) ImplicitNamingStrategyStandardImpl - Which is compliant with the rules
set forth in the JPA standard
2) ImplicitNamingStrategyLegacyJpaImpl - Which implements the initial
support done for JPA 1, before JPA 2 clarified some things.
3) ImplicitNamingStrategyLegacyHbmImpl - Support dating back to the dawn of
time...
4) ImplicitNamingStrategyComponentSafeImpl - Mainly a port
of DefaultComponentSafeNamingStrategy, although leveraging the
AttributePath stuff I discussed earlier

Couple of thoughts...

First, we might want to rename ImplicitNamingStrategyLegacyJpaImpl to
ImplicitNamingStrategyStandardImpl, and ImplicitNamingStrategyStandardImpl
to ImplicitNamingStrategyJpaCompliantImpl.  WDYT?

Second, I do not really like the phrase "component safe".  "Safe" from
what?  The difference is that the whole component path is used in
determining the name; so how about ImplicitNamingStrategyComponentPathImpl?

I do not plan on porting any of the other NamingStrategy impls.


Also, here is the complete list of implicit naming hooks:
1) primary table
2) join table
3) collection table
4) discriminator column
5) tenant id column
6) id column (entity and idbag)
7) basic column
8) join column
9) pk join column
10 ) @Any discriminator column
11) @Any key column
12) map key column
13) list index column
14) foreign key name
15) unique key name
16) index name
