Andrey Razumovsky commented on CAY-402:
---------------------------------------
I've commited new Naming Strategy feature, as discussed in [1]. Now user can
choose naming strategy at reverse engineering dialog. Two strategies are
distributed: BasicNamingStrategy, which creates names as it was done before
(with 'to', 'array' and so on); and new one, SmartNamingStrategy (which is in
the modeler so that inflector dependency is not included in 1.5-unpublished.
Advantages include:
-Using of FK names at generating relationship names
-Dropping 'to' prefix for obj relationships and therefore for generated class
methods' names - only if FK column name ends with 'ID' or '_ID'
-Using pluralized form instead-of "ARRAY" suffix for to-many relationships
(i.e. 'adresses' instead-of 'addressArray')
User can use his own strategy if jar with it is attached in Cayenne properties.
**** I do NOT close this issue (and CAY-457) yet. Smart strategy works fine for
my databases, at least I like it much more that previous one. But it'll be
better if other developers check it with their DBs, maybe naming algorithm
should be improved in some way.

> Key: CAY-402
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-402
> Project: Cayenne
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Cayenne Core Library, CayenneModeler GUI
> Affects Versions: UNDEFINED FUTURE
> Reporter: Andrus Adamchik
> Assignee: Andrey Razumovsky
> Fix For: UNDEFINED FUTURE
>
>
> Users should be given some flexibility when it comes to default names
> generated during reverse engineering. E.g. there were requests to
> automatically change plural form to singular ("product_groups" ->
> "ProductGroup"). There maybe other user-specific cases for transforming DB
> name to Java name.
> Suggested solution was to allow entering regex-based rules in the Modeler:
> http://objectstyle.org/cayenne/lists/cayenne-user/2005/11/0104.html
> Another related request suggested to have an option for naming relationships
> using attribute names instead of target entity names. This may also be one of
> the rules:
> http://objectstyle.org/cayenne/lists/cayenne-user/2005/11/0106.html
> Another suggestion by Cris - store the rules in DataMap for possible reverse
> engineering with Ant. This should allow model synching directly against the
> database (but would of course require a special Ant task)
