Hi all

I am looking for an ID or key generator in Java as a class or Pkg.

I need the result to be mixed with - digits and letters together.

It has to be fixed size or I have to set the length.

also it would be good to have a method

to reject offensive words and fragments of words and a method
that look into

a table of already generated keys to insure the new key is unique

Thanks in advance,

Try java.security.SecureRandom

It has a getNextBytes() method in which you specify the number of bytes you
need (getNextInt(), getNextDouble() etc. use it). Then convert then using
base64 for example.
