Re: How to configure USE_SECURE_RANDOM_FOR_UUID?

2011-06-14 Thread franckie frank
Honestly, I was simply curious why the cryptographically secure generation
of random unique ids (through java.security.SecureRandom API)  is disabled
by default.

And It was unclear to me if it is at all possible to change the default
behavior.
Thanks,

How to configure USE_SECURE_RANDOM_FOR_UUID?

2011-06-13 Thread franckie frank
Hi,



I’ve noticed that in Tomcat 7.0.14’s
org.apache.catalina.tribes.io.ChannelData there is public static field

'public static volatile boolean USE_SECURE_RANDOM_FOR_UUID'.

and it seems to be used only once in the same class. By default its value is
false.



Do you know if there is a way to change/configure its value?



Thanks!
