Interface NamingStrategy

All Known Implementing Classes:

NamingStrategy.Fixed, NamingStrategy.SuffixingRandom

public interface NamingStrategy

A naming strategy for finding a fully qualified internalName for a Java type.

Note that subclasses that lie within the same package as their superclass have improved access to overriding package-private methods of their super type.

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface and Description
static class	NamingStrategy.Fixed A naming strategy that applies a fixed internalName.
static class	NamingStrategy.SuffixingRandom A naming strategy that creates a internalName by concatenating The super classes package and internalName A given suffix string A random number Between all these elements, a $ sign is included into the internalName to improve readability.
static interface	NamingStrategy.UnnamedType An description of a type which is to be named.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
String	getName(NamingStrategy.UnnamedType unnamedType) Generates a fully qualified internalName for a Java type.

Method Detail

getName

String getName(NamingStrategy.UnnamedType unnamedType)

Generates a fully qualified internalName for a Java type. The resulting should not lie within the java.lang package since such types cannot be loaded using a normal class loader. Also, the internalName should not yet be taken by another type since this would cause conflicts in the internalName space. Therefore, it is recommendable to include a random sequence within the internalName.

Parameters:

unnamedType - An unnamed type that is to be named.

Returns:

A valid identifier for a Java type.
