Method Detail

nextUUID

public 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.
