       Body:
I think you're being too specific here! Don't think only about prefixes - that is just one application!

For example, I might want to change the class name com.package.FooBar to the table name PACKAGE_FOO_BAR.

And also consider whether you _really_ want to pass column names to the same method as property names, and table names to the same method as class names. I think a NamingStrategy might need to handle properties w/o column mappings differently to mapped column names.

Description:
Initial feature idea from mailing list:

Hi all!

When I design database datamodels I usually encounter clashes between 
reserved names and names I'd like to use for my tables/columns, e.g. 
"user", "role", etc.. So I ended up prefixing all tables/views/columns: 
Tables have a "tbl" prefix, views a "qry" prefix and columns either 
have a "fld" or a prefix based on the datatype ("txt"/"str" for 
varchars, etc.).

I like to keep my mapping files small (/ to have few xdoclet tags) and 
like the fact that hibernate has smart default for column names: it 
uses the property's name. 

Would it be possible/would you consider it useful to be able to specify 
"default prefixes" for tables/columns so that I don't have to name my 
columns manually in my mappings when I have to use prefixes? Such 
settings could go into the SessionFactory configuration. 


Opinions?

Timo
