Class TimeBasedGenerator

java.lang.Object

com.fasterxml.uuid.UUIDGenerator

com.fasterxml.uuid.NoArgGenerator

com.fasterxml.uuid.impl.TimeBasedGenerator

public class TimeBasedGenerator
extends NoArgGenerator

Implementation of UUID generator that uses time/location based generation method (variant 1).

As all JUG provided implementations, this generator is fully thread-safe. Additionally it can also be made externally synchronized with other instances (even ones running on other JVMs); to do this, use FileBasedTimestampSynchronizer (or equivalent).

Since:

3.0

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
protected EthernetAddress	_ethernetAddress
protected UUIDTimer	_timer Object used for synchronizing access to timestamps, to guarantee that timestamps produced by this generator are unique and monotonically increasings.
protected long	_uuidL2 Base values for the second long (last 8 bytes) of UUID to construct

Constructor and Description
TimeBasedGenerator(EthernetAddress ethAddr, UUIDTimer timer)

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
UUID	generate()
EthernetAddress	getEthernetAddress()

Field Detail

_ethernetAddress

protected final EthernetAddress _ethernetAddress

_timer

protected final UUIDTimer _timer

Object used for synchronizing access to timestamps, to guarantee that timestamps produced by this generator are unique and monotonically increasings. Some implementations offer even stronger guarantees, for example that same guarantee holds between instances running on different JVMs (or with native code).

_uuidL2

protected final long _uuidL2

Base values for the second long (last 8 bytes) of UUID to construct

Constructor Detail

TimeBasedGenerator

public TimeBasedGenerator(EthernetAddress ethAddr,
                          UUIDTimer timer)

Parameters:

ethAddr - Hardware address (802.1) to use for generating spatially unique part of UUID. If system has more than one NIC,
