Customize the generated class name for AbstractClassGenerator-based utilities.
/** * Customize the generated class name for {@link AbstractClassGenerator}-based utilities. */
public interface NamingPolicy {
Choose a name for a generated class.
Params:
  • prefix – a dotted-name chosen by the generating class (possibly to put the generated class in a particular package)
  • source – the fully-qualified class name of the generating class (for example "net.sf.cglib.Enhancer")
  • key – A key object representing the state of the parameters; for caching to work properly, equal keys should result in the same generated class name. The default policy incorporates key.hashCode() into the class name.
  • names – a predicate that returns true if the given classname has already been used in the same ClassLoader.
Returns:the fully-qualified class name

The NamingPolicy in use does not currently, but may in the future, affect the caching of classes generated by AbstractClassGenerator, so this is a reminder that you should correctly implement equals and hashCode to avoid generating too many classes.
