Table annotation shouldn't be mandatory

[Nicola Isotta]

Right now, for CRUD operations, database table name is evaluated in this method:

SansOrm/src/main/java/com/zaxxer/sansorm/internal/Introspected.java

Lines 165 to 176 in ab22721

    /** 
     * Get the table name specified by the {@link Table} annotation. 
     */ 
    private void extractClassTableName() { 
       final Table tableAnnotation = clazz.getAnnotation(Table.class); 
       if (tableAnnotation != null) { 
          final String tableName = tableAnnotation.name(); 
          this.tableName = tableName.isEmpty() 
             ? clazz.getSimpleName() // as per documentation, empty name in Table "defaults to the entity name" 
             : tableName; 
       } 
    } 

If the class does not have the @Table annotation, tableName is null and this could lead to various type of confusing exception from the jdbc drivers, such as: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'null'.

Is the a reason why this method does not default to clazz.getSimpleName() when there is no @Table annotation?
