Class BasicUUIDFactory

java.lang.Object

org.apache.derby.impl.services.uuid.BasicUUIDFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

UUIDFactory

public final class BasicUUIDFactory
extends Object
implements UUIDFactory

A hack implementation of something similar to a DCE UUID generator. Generates unique 128-bit numbers based on the current machine's internet address, the current time, and a sequence number. This implementation should be made to conform to the DCE specification. ("DEC/HP, Network Computing Architecture, Remote Procedure Call Runtime Extensions Specification, version OSF TX1.0.11," Steven Miller, July 23, 1992. This is part of the OSF DCE Documentation. Chapter 10 describes the UUID generation algorithm.)

Some known deficiencies:

• Rather than using the 48-bit hardware network address, it uses the 32-bit IP address. IP addresses are not guaranteed to be unique.
• There is no provision for generating a suitably unique number if no IP address is available.
• Two processes running on this machine which start their respective UUID services within a millisecond of one another may generate duplicate UUIDS.

However, the intention is that UUIDs generated from this class will be unique with respect to UUIDs generated by other DCE UUID generators.

BasicUUIDFactory

public BasicUUIDFactory()

Method Details

createUUID

public UUID createUUID()

Generate a new UUID.

Specified by:

createUUID in interface UUIDFactory

Returns:

The UUID.

See Also:

• UUIDFactory.createUUID()

recreateUUID

public UUID recreateUUID(String uuidstring)

Recreate a UUID previously generated UUID value.

Specified by:

recreateUUID in interface UUIDFactory

Returns:

The UUID.

See Also:

• UUIDFactory.recreateUUID(String)

bumpMajor

resetCounters

private void resetCounters()

getMonitor

private static ModuleFactory getMonitor()

Privileged Monitor lookup. Must be private so that user code can't call this entry point.
