org.hibernate.id.UUIDGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurable, IdentifierGenerator

public class UUIDGenerator
extends Object
implements IdentifierGenerator, Configurable

An IdentifierGenerator which generates UUID values using a pluggable generation strategy. The values this generator can return include UUID, String and byte[16]

Supports 2 config parameters:

• UUID_GEN_STRATEGY - names the UUIDGenerationStrategy instance to use
• UUID_GEN_STRATEGY_CLASS - names the UUIDGenerationStrategy class to use

Currently there are 2 standard implementations of UUIDGenerationStrategy:

• StandardRandomStrategy (the default, if none specified)
• CustomVersionOneStrategy
