Alex Herbert updated RNG-200:
-----------------------------
    Component/s:     (was: core)

> TWO_CMRES_SELECT cannot be serialized within JDKRandomBridge
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: RNG-200
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-200
>             Project: Commons RNG
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: simple
>    Affects Versions: 1.7
>            Reporter: Alex Herbert
>            Priority: Minor

> The TWO_CMRES_SELECT random source is constructed using a seed and two chosen 
> sub-cycle generators. The state of the RNG can be saved and restored using 
> the methods of RestorableUniformRandomProvider. This state *does not* include 
> the identifiers of the sub-cycle generators. Thus the state can be restored 
> to the *same instance* of the RNG where the sub-cycle generators are known. 
> It cannot be used to create a new instance of the generator when 
> deserializing the state in the JDKRandomBridge.
> The JDKRandomBridge creates a new instance of the random source using:
> {code:java}
> delegate = source.create(); {code}
> This is the no argument factory method of RandomSource:
> {code:java}
> public RestorableUniformRandomProvider create() {code}
> The TWO_CMRES_SELECT generator requires the two sub cycle generators to be 
> specified in the overloaded factory method:
> {code:java}
> public RestorableUniformRandomProvider create(Object seed,
>                                               Object... data) {code}
> For example:
> {code:java}
> long seed = 1;
> int subCycle1 = 3;
> int subCycle2 = 8;
> delegate = source.create(seed, subCycle1, subCycle2);  {code}
