[hibernate-dev] NamingStrategy Enhancement

Hi, I wish to implement a NamingStrategy which translates the 'id' field of a Person entity to have a column name of 'pk_person'. I also wish to translate boolean fields to have a column name of 'is_'+field. The currently NamingStrategy interface does not support either of these because it does not include class/type information in its interface. Others have also encountered this problem: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1655 http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3641 I am keen to resolve these issues. I'm willing to write a patch and submit it, however if the concept (of passing type information to the naming strategy) isn't acceptable then can someone tell me now so I don't spend time writing an unused patch? (Or should I be directing this question elsewhere?) I realise that I can use @Column annotations or mapping files to implement these naming conventions, but I'm keen to keep it outside of the business model (especially since the model has about 200 tables), and it seems like an obvious enhancement to the NamingStrategy. Cheers, Mike
