Constructor Detail

RandomIdentifierGenerationStrategy

public RandomIdentifierGenerationStrategy()

Constructor. Initializes the random number source to a new SecureRandom, size of identifier is set to 16 bytes, and the encoder is set to a Hex.

RandomIdentifierGenerationStrategy

public RandomIdentifierGenerationStrategy(int identifierSize)

Constructor. Initializes the random number source to a new SecureRandom and the encoder is set to a Hex.

Parameters:

identifierSize - number of random bytes in identifier
