[jbosstools-dev] Unpredictable NamingStrategy interpretation

Hi, Emmanuel, The problem is in interpretation of specified names with dots. I created naming strategy where all method just join all passed parameters with "_". For example @Override public String collectionTableName(String ownerEntity, String ownerEntityTable, String associatedEntity, String associatedEntityTable, String propertyName) { return ownerEntity + "_"+ associatedEntity+ "_" + associatedEntityTable + "_" + associatedEntity + "_" +propertyName; } And what I have found: @Entity(name = "e.M11") public class ManyToMany1 implements Serializable { } What do you think will be DB table name? The correct answer is "e.M11". The same for @Entity @Table(name = "e.M11") But when this entity is used in relationship mapping as target entity things become different: for @Entity(name = "e.M11") entity.ManyToMany2_entity.ManyToMany1_*M11*_entity.ManyToMany1_mtm1 for @Table(name = "e.M11") entity.ManyToMany2_entity.ManyToMany1_*e.M11*_entity.ManyToMany1_mtm1 I didn't see any specification for how NamingStrategy should be used. And I even *fear* to compare this behaviour with core hibernate behaviour. I guess there will be some differences too. Dmitry.
