I think I may have goofed when I implemented some of the ImplicitNamingStrategy rules in 5.0.
During that transition, I wrote a bunch of unit test in 4.3 to serve as a baseline to make sure I got the logic/rules right as I developed 5.0. But I think I may have set up those initial 4.3 tests improperly. Specifically, there are a few meant to test Hibernate's legacy naming behavior, aka its non-JPA-compliant naming. I think I got confused by the whole concept of NamingStrategy and NamingStrategyDelegate and NamingStrategyDelegator that had gotten added to 4.3. So on 4.3, what is the proper way to specify Hibernate should use JPA-compliant implicit naming? What is the proper way to specify that it should use its legacy naming? The issue came to light via HHH-9908. Consider a mapping like: @Entity @Table(name = "ptx") public class Ptx { @Id private Integer id; @ManyToMany private List<Input> inputs1; } Assuming that Inputs defines its primary table as "input", the JPA-compliant naming would be "ptx_input". That is what happens on 4.3 using EJB3NamingStrategy. It is actually also what happens on master using ImplicitNamingStrategyJpaCompliantImpl. However, the "legacy" part I cannot figure out. Unless I misremember, back in the day we used to interpret these based on the attribute name, rather than the associated table name. So here we'd have "ptx_inputs1". That is in fact what ImprovedNamingStrategy does on 4.3. But I believe ImprovedNamingStrategy is not the default on 4.3. Again, between NamingStrategy and NamingStrategyDelegate and NamingStrategyDelegator it is VERY hard to understand what it going on, so maybe I just missed something. Anyway, on 4.3 setting no naming strategy forces this to behave in a JPA-compliant way, meaning the implicit name here is "ptx_input" when I do not specify anything for NamingStrategy(Delegat(e/or)). So either that got screwed up in 4.2/4.3 (whenever those new indirections where added) or I simply misremember what we used to do here. _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
