Method Detail

toBase64Name

public String toBase64Name(UUID uuid)

Converts the UUID to a Base64 string, valid as an XML 'name'. The encoding is the "URL and filename safe" variation of Base64 described in Section 4 of RFC3548, with two alterations. First, if the leading character is not valid for an XML name, then an underscore '_' is prefixed to the result string. Second, any trailing pad characters '=' are deleted. The result is either a string of 22 characters, in the pattern:

[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9-]{21}

Or 23 characters, in the pattern:

_[0-9-][A-Za-z_0-9-]{21}
