public final class UUID extends Object implements Serializable, Comparable<UUID>
A class that represents an immutable universally unique identifier (UUID). A UUID represents a 128-bit value.There exist different variants of these global identifiers. The methods of this class are for manipulating the Leach-Salz variant, although the constructors allow the creation of any variant of UUID (described below).
The layout of a variant 2 (Leach-Salz) UUID is as follows: The most significant long consists of the following unsigned fields:
0xFFFFFFFF00000000 time_low 0x00000000FFFF0000 time_mid 0x000000000000F000 version 0x0000000000000FFF time_hi
The least significant long consists of the following unsigned fields:0xC000000000000000 variant 0x3FFF000000000000 clock_seq 0x0000FFFFFFFFFFFF node
The variant field contains a value which identifies the layout of the
UUID
. The bit layout described above is valid only for aUUID
with a variant value of 2, which indicates the Leach-Salz variant.The version field holds a value that describes the type of this
UUID
. There are four different basic types of UUIDs: time-based, DCE security, name-based, and randomly generated UUIDs. These types have a version value of 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively.For more information including algorithms used to create
UUID
s, see RFC 4122: A Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID) URN Namespace, section 4.2 "Algorithms for Creating a Time-Based UUID".- Since:

public UUID(long mostSigBits, long leastSigBits)
Constructs a newUUID
using the specified data.mostSigBits
is used for the most significant 64 bits of theUUID
andleastSigBits
becomes the least significant 64 bits of theUUID
.- Parameters:
mostSigBits
- The most significant bits of theUUID
leastSigBits

Method Detail
-
randomUUID
public static UUID randomUUID()
Static factory to retrieve a type 4 (pseudo randomly generated) UUID. TheUUID
is generated using a cryptographically strong pseudo random number generator.- Returns:
- A randomly generated
UUID
-
nameUUIDFromBytes
public static UUID nameUUIDFromBytes(byte[] name)
Static factory to retrieve a type 3 (name based)UUID
based on the specified byte array.- Parameters:
name
- A byte array to be used to construct aUUID
- Returns:
- A
UUID
generated from the specified array
-
fromString
public static UUID fromString(String name)
Creates aUUID
from the string standard representation as described in thetoString()
method.- Parameters:
name
- A string that specifies aUUID
- Returns:
- A
UUID
with the specified value - Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- If name does not conform to the string representation as described intoString()
-
getLeastSignificantBits
public long getLeastSignificantBits()
Returns the least significant 64 bits of this UUID's 128 bit value.- Returns:
- The least significant 64 bits of this UUID's 128 bit value
-
getMostSignificantBits
public long getMostSignificantBits()
Returns the most significant 64 bits of this UUID's 128 bit value.- Returns:
- The most significant 64 bits of this UUID's 128 bit value
-
version
public int version()
The version number associated with thisUUID
. The version number describes how thisUUID
was generated. The version number has the following meaning:- 1 Time-based UUID
- 2 DCE security UUID
- 3 Name-based UUID
- 4 Randomly generated UUID
- Returns:
- The version number of this
UUID
-
variant
public int variant()
The variant number associated with thisUUID
. The variant number describes the layout of theUUID
. The variant number has the following meaning:- 0 Reserved for NCS backward compatibility
- 2 IETF RFC 4122 (Leach-Salz), used by this class
- 6 Reserved, Microsoft Corporation backward compatibility
- 7 Reserved for future definition
- Returns:
- The variant number of this
UUID
-
timestamp
public long timestamp()
The timestamp value associated with this UUID.The 60 bit timestamp value is constructed from the time_low, time_mid, and time_hi fields of this
UUID
. The resulting timestamp is measured in 100-nanosecond units since midnight, October 15, 1582 UTC.The timestamp value is only meaningful in a time-based UUID, which has version type 1. If this
UUID
is not a time-based UUID then this method throws UnsupportedOperationException.- Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException
- If this UUID is not a version 1 UUID
-
clockSequence
public int clockSequence()
The clock sequence value associated with this UUID.The 14 bit clock sequence value is constructed from the clock sequence field of this UUID. The clock sequence field is used to guarantee temporal uniqueness in a time-based UUID.
The
clockSequence
value is only meaningful in a time-based UUID, which has version type 1. If this UUID is not a time-based UUID then this method throws UnsupportedOperationException.- Returns:
- The clock sequence of this
UUID
- Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException
- If this UUID is not a version 1 UUID
-
node
public long node()
The node value associated with this UUID.The 48 bit node value is constructed from the node field of this UUID. This field is intended to hold the IEEE 802 address of the machine that generated this UUID to guarantee spatial uniqueness.
The node value is only meaningful in a time-based UUID, which has version type 1. If this UUID is not a time-based UUID then this method throws UnsupportedOperationException.
