         Key: ANN-561
         URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-561
     Project: Hibernate Annotations
        Type: Improvement

  Components: binder  
    Versions: 3.2.1, 3.2.0.ga    
 Environment: JBoss 4.0.5.GA with last jboss-EJB-3.0_RC9_Patch_1 (Hibernate Annotations 3.2.0.GA).
Oracle 10g. (Actually the issue is independent of the database backend)
    Reporter: Saverio Trioni


When implementing a custom NamingStrategy for table binding, the only information that is accessible by the strategy are the names of the classes, possibly up to the outer class, but all package information is lost.

In a big project with multiple packages, it is often good to mark the tables with some information of the package.

For instance, a class com.example.music.Country (specialization of Genre) should be able to be mapped to the table MUSIC_COUNTRY and com.example.geography.Country to the table GEOG_COUNTRY. Even sorting out omonimies, there is a matter of clarity (at the expense of name length) for the name of the tables.

The point is to do this without touching the @Table(name="") annotation, using just default behaviour.
