Class UUIDGenerator

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.openjpa.lib.util.UUIDGenerator

public class UUIDGenerator
extends Object

UUID value generator. Type 1 generator is based on the time-based generator in the Apache Commons Id project: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox /id/uuid.html The type 4 generator uses the standard Java UUID generator. The type 1 code has been vastly simplified and modified to replace the ethernet address of the host machine with the IP, since we do not want to require native libs and Java cannot access the MAC address directly. In spirit, implements the IETF UUID draft specification, found here:
