[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBMESSAGING-1494) UUIDGenerator does not use a different network address

UUIDGenerator does not use a different network address ------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBMESSAGING-1494 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBMESSAGING-1494 Project: JBoss Messaging Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Jeff Mesnil Assignee: Tim Fox Fix For: 2.0.0 Beta UUIDGenerator always use InetAddress.getLocalHost() for its address which is likely to return the same result on different machines thus compromising the uniqueness of the UUID generated by different machines at the same time. Instead, we should use an address returned by NetworkInterface to retrieve an address different from the local address. In the case the UUIDGenerator is called from restricted clients (e.g. applets, no network permissions), we'd fall back on using the InetAddress.getLocalHost() but the uniqueness would not be guaranteed
