protected String convertName(Class<? extends RawEntity<?>> type)

Description copied from class: AbstractTableNameConverter

Performs the actual operation of converting a class type into a proper table name. This method need not concern itself with particulars of @Table annotations or pattern mappings. All of these things are handled in the AbstractTableNameConverter.getName(Class) method in the superclass implementation.

This method must run as fast as possible and should be thread-safe. If necessary, caching may be employed, but it is also within scope for such caching to be utilized within the superclass. As such, the implementation of this method should be kept extremely simple. Also note that this method may not be called for every entity type which must be converted (due to mappings, @Table overrides, etc).

Specified by:

convertName in class AbstractTableNameConverter

Parameters:

type - The entity type which must be converted.

Returns:

The unique table name which corresponds to the given type.
