Ability to have prefix embedded object columns ---------------------------------------------- Key: ANN-806 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-806 Project: Hibernate Annotations Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 3.4.0.GA Reporter: Thad Cox It would be very helpful if there were a way to specify a prefix for the column names of an embedded element as was suggested in the comments ANN-99. By this I mean @Embedded @ColumnPrefix("homeaddress") public Address getHomeAddress { return this.homeAddress; } The reasoning for rejecting the initial suggestion as put in the description of the issue made sense but the final solution of changing the naming strategy ends up being a very drastic solution for a simple problem. The problem is that for some embedded objects that I only use once I want to just have the plain column name, other times I use it twice in the same object and I need the column names to have different prefixes. An additional problem the naming strategy solution presents is that if I specify the column name in the embedded object then I can't use it. For example if I have an address object on a user and I want the postal code column to always end in "postal_code" instead of "postalcode" I can't use the naming strategy to add the prefix at all. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
