Interface NamingStrategy

All Known Implementing Classes:

NamingStrategy.Fixed, NamingStrategy.PrefixingRandom, NamingStrategy.SuffixingRandom

public interface NamingStrategy

A naming strategy for finding a fully qualified name 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 name.
static class	NamingStrategy.PrefixingRandom A naming strategy that creates a name by prefixing a given class and its package with another package and by appending a random number to the class's simple name.
static class	NamingStrategy.SuffixingRandom A naming strategy that creates a name by concatenating: The super classes package and name A given suffix string A random number Between all these elements, a $ sign is included into the name to improve readability.
static interface	NamingStrategy.Unbound An unbound NamingStrategy where the actual naming strategy is still to be determined in dependency of whether a type is to be subclasses, redefined or rebased.
static interface	NamingStrategy.UnnamedType An description of a type which is to be named.

Method Summary

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

Method Detail

name

String name(NamingStrategy.UnnamedType unnamedType)

Generates a fully qualified name 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 name should not yet be taken by another type since this would cause conflicts in the name space. Therefore, it is recommendable to include a random sequence within the name.

Parameters:

unnamedType - An unnamed type that is to be named.

Returns:

A valid identifier for a Java type.
