[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (HHH-5560) Envers ValidAuditTimeStrategy needs a better name

Envers ValidAuditTimeStrategy needs a better name ------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-5560 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5560 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: envers Affects Versions: 3.6.0.Beta4 Reporter: Erik-Berndt Scheper Assignee: Erik-Berndt Scheper Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.6.0.CR2 See: http://community.jboss.org/thread/156343?tstart=0 I have been thinking about this some time, but I believe we need a better name for the ValidAuditTimeStrategy. Of course, this affects both the class name and the envers configuration option. I think we need to do this ASAP (before 3.6.0 goes CR or even GA), because it will cause less incompatibility issues. We could keep the old configuration option for compatibility reasons, but that may not be necessary since you marked this as experimental. There are a couple of reasons why I dislike this name * It suggests that AuditTimes can be invalid. I cannot image how this could be the case. * We already have AuditStrategy and DefaultAuditStrategy. So it would we logical that the name should end with AuditStrategy. * The strategy is based on the use of a revision end column, not on anything like time(stamp)s. I propose to rename this strategy to RevisionEndColumnAuditStratigy. What do you think? If you agree, I could create an issue with a patch to fix this.
