<para>
When annotations or JPA XML descriptors are used to map an entity, the
<interfacename>org.hibernate.cfg.NamingStrategy</interfacename> API may not be
flexible enough to properly generate default collection table or join column names that comply with the
JPA specification. This is because the API does not provide all the necessary information
(e.g., an entity's class name, along with its mapped name and primary table name) to compute the names
properly. Due to this limitation, <interfacename>org.hibernate.cfg.NamingStrategy</interfacename> has
been deprecated.

<interfacename>org.hibernate.cfg.naming.NamingStrategyDelegator</interfacename>,

<para>
For backward compatibility, the default implementation,
<classname>org.hibernate.cfg.naming.LegacyNamingStrategyDelegator</classname> delegates table and
column name generation to an instance of the class specified by the <option>--naming</option>, if provided;
otherwise, it delegates to an instance of <classname>org.hibernate.cfg.EJB3NamingStrategy</classname>.
</para>
<para>
Hibernate provides <classname>org.hibernate.cfg.naming.ImprovedNamingStrategyDelegator</classname> as
an alternative that generates default table and column names that comply with the JPA specification when
annotations or JPA XML descriptors are used to map an entity; table and column names generated for entities
mapped using Hibernate-specific hbm.xml are unaffected.
</para>
<para>
The option, <option>--namingdelegator</option>, can be set to
<classname>org.hibernate.cfg.naming.ImprovedNamingStrategyDelegator</classname> or the name of a
custom implementation of <interfacename>org.hibernate.cfg.naming.NamingStrategyDelegator</interfacename>.
</para>

See source code or JavaDoc for <interfacename>org.hibernate.cfg.naming.NamingStrategyDelegator</interfacename>
and its implementations for details.

A more comprehensive solution will be introduced in 5.0 that will replace both
<interfacename>org.hibernate.cfg.NamingStrategy</interfacename> and
<interfacename>org.hibernate.cfg.naming.NamingStrategyDelegator</interfacename>.
