IETF_Type1

public static final AUIDGeneration IETF_Type1

A time-based method for UUID generation consistent with section 4.2 of rfc 4122. The resulting UUID consists of the current date and time, as well as an identifier for the host generating the identifier. Same as Timebased.

Timebased

public static final AUIDGeneration Timebased

A time-based method for UUID generation consistent with section 4.2 of rfc 4122. The resulting UUID consists of the current date and time, as well as an identifier for the host generating the identifier. Same as IETF_Type1.

Method Detail

values

public static final AUIDGeneration[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for(AUIDGeneration c : AUIDGeneration.values())
        System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared

valueOf

public static AUIDGeneration valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
