AEM UUID

Hi,

I would like know the case-sensitivity of the UUID generated in AEM.

Currently I see the UUID is generated,

  • UUID represented as 32 hexadecimal digits and displayed in five groups separated by hyphens in the form 8-4-4-4-12 for a total of 36 characters
  • Technically in Hex decimal system there is no uppercase or lowercase difference.  
  • UUID generation guidelines suggest the systems to use lowercase ( RFC4122).

If above conditions are true then UUID generated in aem will always be in lowercase?Can anyone confirm on this.

Regards,

Hari

What UUIDs are you talking about? And why is it important to know the details of the creation algorithm? Do you want to create UUIDS on your own?

regards,

Jörg

I do not think Adobe will reveal details of their algorithms like this. Its not pubic information.
