Interface NameGenerator

All Known Implementing Classes:

MD5NameGenerator, DefaultNameGenerator

public interface NameGenerator

A NameGenerator is an interface to how name generation should take place in the database. Generated names should try to be unique, and should be consistant across JVM invocations. For example, it would be inappropriate to use a String's hashCode() to generate a name, since it is not guaranteed to be the same across JVM invocations.
