ZoneAlarm displaying a Warning when AbstractUUIDGenerator is initialized
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-2999
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2999
             Project: Hibernate3
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 3.2.5
         Environment: Windows Vista, Hibernate 3.2.5, Java 1.6, ZoneAlarm Firewall
            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
