Specifying table with jdbc-class-map-name

Question

Greetings
How do I specify the name of the table to map to when using the jdbc-
class-map-name hint?
In my jdo file, I have specified:
<class name="Customer" objectid-class="CustomerId">
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="jdbc-class-map-name" value="base">
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="table" value="PERSONS"/>
</extension>
but when mappingtool generates the mapping file, the "table" hint
is ignored, and I end up with the following in the .mapping file:
<class name="Customer">
<jdbc-class-map type="base" table="FRED.CUSTOMER"/>
What I really want to see in the above jdbc-class-map is:
table="FRED.PERSONS"
I am using the property setting: kodo.jdbc.Schemas: FRED
Note that mapping fields to columns using jdbc-field-map-name
seems to work fine...
Any clues? Thanks.
droo.

You can't specify table or column names via mapping tool hints. The
typical way to change the default names is either to override the
getValidTableName/getValidColumnName methods in a custom DBDictionary
for systematic changes, or to follow the process outlined in example 7.6
