Class IdGeneratorImpl

java.lang.Object
  net.rim.pushsdk.commons.IdGeneratorImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:

IdGenerator

public class IdGeneratorImpl
extends Object
implements IdGenerator

Simple implementation of the IdGenerator interface to generate unique ids.

Generally, it is recommend to set the domainName instance variable to something in order to make the id even more unique. Can be set programmatically through the constructor (or the setter) or through Spring bean context XML via dependency injection.

If domainName is null, then the id will be: <11 random alpha numeric characters> + "-" + (eg. 76849392967-1445678) If domainName is not null then the id will be: + <8 random alpha numeric characters> + "-" + (eg. rim.com-76849392-1445678).
