Constructor Detail

UUIDKeyGeneratorFactory

public UUIDKeyGeneratorFactory()

Method Detail

getAlgorithmName

public String getAlgorithmName()

Get name of key generator algorithm.

Specified by:

getAlgorithmName in interface KeyGeneratorFactory

Returns:

Name of key generator algorithm.

hasMandatoryParameters

public boolean hasMandatoryParameters()

Does the algorithm has mandatory parameters and therefore requires a key generator definition in mapping file?

Specified by:

hasMandatoryParameters in interface KeyGeneratorFactory

Returns:

true if algorithm has mandatory parameters and therefore requires a key generator definition in mapping file. false if algorithm does not require parameters or has only optional parameters.

createKeyGenerator

public KeyGenerator createKeyGenerator()

Create a default key generator instance with the algorithm the factory is responsible for. This is only possible for those algorithms that do not require mandatory parameters.

Specified by:

createKeyGenerator in interface KeyGeneratorFactory

Returns:

A default key generator instance with the algorithm the factory is responsible for.

createKeyGenerator

public KeyGenerator createKeyGenerator(KeyGeneratorDef definition)
                                throws GeneratorException

Create a key generator instance from the given definition with the algorithm the factory is responsible for.

Specified by:

createKeyGenerator in interface KeyGeneratorFactory

Parameters:

definition - The definition to initialize the key generator.

Returns:

A key generator instance initialized with given definition with the algorithm the factory is responsible for.

Throws:

GeneratorException - If failed to create a key generator instance.
