Package net.sf.cglib.core

## Interface NamingPolicy

All Known Implementing Classes:
  `DefaultNamingPolicy`

    public interface NamingPolicy

Customize the generated class name for `AbstractClassGenerator`-based utilities.

### Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
`boolean` `equals​(java.lang.Object o)` 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.
`java.lang.String` `getClassName​(java.lang.String prefix, java.lang.String source, java.lang.Object key, Predicate names)` Choose a name for a generated class.

### Method Detail

#### getClassName

    java.lang.String getClassName​(java.lang.String prefix,
                                  java.lang.String source,
                                  java.lang.Object key,
                                  Predicate names)

Choose a name for a generated class.

Parameters:
  `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

#### equals

    boolean equals​(java.lang.Object o)

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.

Overrides:
  `equals` in class `java.lang.Object`
