Class RandomGenerator

java.lang.Object
  org.identityconnectors.contract.data.RandomGenerator

public class RandomGenerator
extends Object

Random generator uses a pattern to generate a random sequence based on given pattern.

the supported characters are (can appear in pattern string):

• # - numeric
• a - lowercase letter
• A - uppercase letter
• ? - lowercase and uppercase letter
• . - any character

Any other character inside the pattern is directly printed to the output.

Backslash is used to escape any character. For instance pattern "###\\.##" prints a floating point random number

org.identityconnectors.contract.data.macro.RandomMacro -- written by Dan Vernon, the original source of random generating functionality.

Note: This is just a helper class. Users will directly use methods get() and random() of class Lazy.
