Uuid

Overview

Module

• package: org.eclipse.dirigible.sdk.utils
• source: utils/Uuid.java

UUID generation and validation. random() produces a Version 4 (random) UUID using the JDK's java.util.UUID.randomUUID(); validate(String) checks string conformance without throwing — useful for trusting or rejecting an inbound identifier before parsing it.

Use this rather than java.util.UUID.randomUUID().toString() when you want UUID generation to stay consistent with the rest of the platform.

Key Features:

• Version-4 random UUIDs — backed by the JDK secure RNG.
• Non-throwing validation — validate returns a boolean rather than raising on malformed input.

Example Usage:

import org.eclipse.dirigible.sdk.utils.Uuid;

String id = Uuid.random();
boolean ok = Uuid.validate("550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000");
