Sebb commented on LANG-778: --------------------------- Since the methods must necessarily be inverses of each other, I think the current names are not ideal. toByteArray() fromBytes() I'd prefer either toBytes/fromBytes or toByteArray/fromByteArray but any other pairing that differs only by the to/from prefix would be fine. > Add UUIDUtils.toByteArray and UUIDUtils.fromByteArray > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LANG-778 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-778 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: lang.* > Reporter: Joerg Schaible > Assignee: Joerg Schaible > Priority: Minor > Attachments: LANG-778.diff > > Original Estimate: 4h > Remaining Estimate: 4h > > A UUID represents 16 bytes. In some situation (e.g. using DBs that do not > have native support for the type UUID) it is necessary to use directly the > bytes. The JDK does not support the transformation from UUID to bytes and > back, therefore I'd like to add UUIDUtils with the two proposed methods. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
