[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Closed: (HHH-2998) ZoneAlarm DNS warning when AbstractUUIDGenerator is initialized on Windows Vista

ZoneAlarm DNS warning when AbstractUUIDGenerator is initialized on Windows Vista -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2998 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2998 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Affects Versions: 3.2.5 Environment: Windows Vista with ZoneAlarm Firewall installed, Hibernate 3.2.5 and Java 1.6 Reporter: Moritz Gmelin Priority: Minor When Hibernate initializes the AbstractUUIDGenerator, a call to InetAddress.getLocalHost() is made to get the host's IP address. If the host running the application is a windows vista host with a Zone Alarm firewall installed, the user gets a popup window that the application is trying to a DNS lookup (the DNS lookup is not even executed). This is not a hibernate bug. It is a vista & zone alarm bug. But it would be nice if the call in AbstractUUIDGenerator could be eliminated (the address is just used to generate some unique, random number). From looking at the code, I would guess that repacing the call by calling Math.random() would be just fine. Thanks Moritz
