uuidgen

public java.lang.String[] uuidgen(int nmbr)

Generates a collection of UUID's and returns thier values as an array of Strings

Specified by:

uuidgen in interface UUIDGen

Parameters:

nmbr - The number of UUID's to generate

An array of UUID's as String objects

nextUUID

protected java.lang.String nextUUID()

Creates a new UUID. The algorithm used is described by The Open Group. See Universal Unique Identifier for more details.

Due to a lack of functionality in Java, a part of the UUID is a secure random. This results in a long processing time when this method is called for the first time.
