JAVA UUID Generation

A UUID is a number generated on a machine that guarantees that all machines in the same time and space are unique. Typically the platform provides the API to generate the UUID. The UUID is based on the standards established by the Open Software Foundation (OSF), using Ethernet card addresses, nanosecond-seconds, chip ID codes, and many possible numbers. A combination of the following: the current date and time (the first part of the UUID is related to the time, if you generate a UUID after a few seconds, the first part is different, the rest is the same), the clock sequence, the globally unique IEEE Machine identification number (if there is a network card, from the network card, No network cards are available in other ways, the only drawback to the UUID is that the resulting string will be longer. The most common use of UUID for this standard is the GUID of Microsoft (Globals Unique Identifiers).

The GUID is a 128-bit long number, typically represented by a 16 binary. The core idea of the algorithm is to combine the machine's NIC, local time, and a random number to generate the GUID. Theoretically, if a machine produces 10 million GUIDs per second, it can be guaranteed (in a probabilistic sense) that it will not repeat for 3,240 years.

The UUID is a new class in 1.5 that, under Java.util, can produce a globally unique ID.

Package com.mytest;

Import Java.util.UUID;

public class Utest {
public static void Main (string[] args) {
UUID uuid = Uuid.randomuuid ();
SYSTEM.OUT.PRINTLN (UUID);
}
}

InJavaThere are several ways to generate a UUID in the main:

JDK1.5
If the JDK1.5 is used, then the spawning UUID becomes a simple matter, assuming that the JDK implements the UUID:
Java. util. UUID, can be called directly.
UUID uuid = Uuid.randomuuid ();
String s = Uuid.randomuuid (). toString ();//The primary key ID used to generate the database is very good.

The UUID is made up of a 16-bit number that shows up in the form of such
550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655440000

Here is the code that implements obtaining a unique primary key ID for the database
public class Uuidgenerator {
Public Uuidgenerator () {
}
/**
* Get a UUID
* @return String UUID
*/
public static String Getuuid () {
String s = Uuid.randomuuid (). toString ();
Remove the "-" symbol
Return s.substring (0,8) +s.substring (9,13) +s.substring (14,18) +s.substring (19,23) +s.substring (24);
}
/**
* Get a specified number of UUID
* The number of UUID to be obtained @param numbers int
* @return string[] UUID Array
*/
public static string[] Getuuid (int number) {
if (number < 1) {
return null;
}
string[] ss = new String[number];
for (int i=0;i<number;i++) {
Ss[i] = Getuuid ();
}
return SS;
}
public static void Main (string[] args) {
string[] ss = Getuuid (10);
for (int i=0;i<ss.length;i++) {
System.out.println (Ss[i]);
}
}
}

The UUID meaning is a universal unique identifier (universally unique Identifier), which is a software construction standard and is also organized by the Open Software Foundation, OSF, in a distributed computing environment ( Distributed Computing Environment, DCE) part of the field. The purpose of the UUID is to allow all elements in a distributed system to have unique identification information without the need to specify the information through the central control terminal. In this way, everyone can create a UUID that does not clash with others. In such a case, there is no need to consider the name duplication problem when the database is established. Currently the most widely used UUID is Microsoft's globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs), while other important applications are the Linux ext2/ext3 file system, LUKS encryption partition, GNOME, KDE, Mac OS X, and so on.

The following is an example of a specific build UUID:

As can be seen, the UUID refers to the number generated on a machine, which guarantees that all machines in the same time and space are unique. Typically, the platform provides the generated APIs. Based on standard calculations developed by the Open Software Foundation (OSF), Ethernet card addresses, nanosecond-seconds, chip ID codes, and many possible numbers are used

The UUID is composed of the following parts:

(1) The current date and time, the first part of the UUID is related to the time, if you generate a UUID after a few seconds to generate a UUID, then the first part is different, the rest is the same.

(2) Clock sequence

(3) Globally unique IEEE machine identification number, if there is a network card, from the network card MAC address obtained, no network card is obtained in other ways.

The only drawback to the UUID is that the resulting string will be longer. The most common use of UUID for this standard is the GUID of Microsoft (Globals Unique Identifiers). In ColdFusion, the UUID can be easily generated using the Createuuid () function in the form of: Xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (8-4-4-16), where each x is 0-9 or a-f A hexadecimal number within the range. The standard UUID format is: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx (8-4-4-4-12), which can be converted from cflib download CreateGUID () UDF.

The benefits of using UUID are reflected in distributed software systems (e.g. DCE/RPC, Com+,corba), which ensures that the identities generated by each node are not duplicated, and that the benefits of the UUID will be more pronounced with the development of integrated technologies such as Web services. Depending on the specific mechanism used, the UUID must not only be guaranteed to be different from each other, or at least be very different from any other generic unique identifiers that were generated before the 3400 AD.

The universal unique identifier can also be used to point to most possible objects. Microsoft and some other software companies tend to use the globally unique identifier (GUID), which is a type of universal unique identifier that can be used to point to the Building object module object and other software components. The first universal unique identifier is a component created in the Snare computer system (NCS) and subsequently become a distributed computing environment (DCE) of the Open Software Foundation (OSF).
