How Does Jack Rabbit Generate Its UUID

[Carlo Camerino]

Hi,

How does jackrabbit generate its UUID?

jcr:uuid


  /**
     * Returns the UUID of this node as recorded in this node's
<code>jcr:uuid</code>
     * property. This method only works on nodes of mixin node type
     * <code>mix:referenceable</code>. On nonreferenceable nodes, this
method
     * throws an <code>UnsupportedRepositoryOperationException</code>. To
avoid throwing an exception
     * to determine whether a node has a UUID, a call to {@link
#isNodeType(String) isNodeType("mix:referenceable")}
     * can be made.

What are the ways by which I could get it?
Is it stored in the database somewhere?

thanks
