Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Deprecated Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`UUID`	`generateUUID(SharedSessionContractImplementor session)`	Deprecated. Generate the UUID.
`int`	`getGeneratedVersion()`	Deprecated. Which variant, according to IETF RFC 4122, of UUID does this strategy generate? RFC 4122 defines 5 variants (though it only describes algorithms to generate 4): 1 = time based 2 = DCE based using POSIX UIDs 3 = name based (md5 hash) 4 = random numbers based 5 = name based (sha-1 hash)

    4 = random numbers based
    
    5 = name based (sha-1 hash)
    
    Returning the values above should be reserved to those generators creating variants compliant with the corresponding RFC definition; others can feel free to return other values as they see fit.
