[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Closed: (HHH-4375) Consider implementing @Entity(name=) through entityName

[Steve Ebersole (JIRA)]

     [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4375?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Steve Ebersole closed HHH-4375.
-------------------------------

    Resolution: Rejected

This is absolutely not a solution.  As pointed out, @Entity(name="...") is not at all related to Hibernate's notion of entity name which is part of its entity-mode support.  No, @Entity(name="...") is more closely related to query import names.  Look at the docs for @Entity:
{code}
	/**
	 * (Optional) The entity name. Defaults to the unqualified
	 * name of the entity class. This name is used to refer to the
	 * entity in queries. The name must not be a reserved literal
	 * in the Java Persistence query language.
	 */
	String name() default "";
{code}

The important bit is "This name is used to refer to the entity in queries" which exactly describes Hibernate import names.
