Sahoo updated FELIX-4043:
-------------------------
Attachment: Felix-4043.patch
A simple patch that allows Felix to use Random instead of SecureRandom when
felix.uuid.policy.random=true
> Make the use of SecureRandom optional for UUID generation in Felix.init
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FELIX-4043
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4043
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Framework
> Affects Versions: framework-4.2.1
> Reporter: Tom Mueller
> Attachments: Felix-4043.patch
>
>
> One of the first things Felix.init does is to call Util.randomUUID to
> generate the UUID that will be used by the framework. This method uses the
> SecureRandom Java SE library to generate the UUID. Depending on the operating
> system, initialization of SecureRandom can be very slow. For example, on
> Windows, this can take hundreds of milliseconds.
> When used in a single server environment, it is not clear that a UUID is even
> necessary. And it may not be necessary to use one that depend on using
> SecureRandom. Maybe the caller of Felix.init could provide the UUID or maybe
> the UUID could be generated using Random would work just as well.
> The purpose of this improvement request is to provide a method for avoiding
> the use of SecureRandom when using Felix so as to reduce the time required to
> initialize the Felix framework.
