I am sure, Phil will take care of it, if he starts refactoring. But basically there is not much difference by just decorating an arbitrary StringIdentifierGenerator and prefixing the resulting id compared to the current implementations - and the AbstractStringIdentifierGenerator could implement a protected nextStringBufferIdentifier method. Talking about transformation is another issue though ... > > "Introduce a Wrappable interface for serial generators > that may wrap" > Why. What _real_ benefit does it give.

Basically in an IoC environment an IdentifierGenerator is just configured and the application has then an easy way to determin by the type of the generator, if it is wrappable and may request or set the flag. Another issue is, that we unify the API of the functionality (and have to document it only once). But I feel not strong about it. - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
