public abstract class OIDAllocator
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

This class provides a mechanism that can be used for generating object identifiers (OIDs) for use in attribute type and object class definitions constructed for use in representing an object in the directory.

Note that OIDs generated are not necessarily required to be valid, nor are they required to be unique. As such, OIDs included in generated attribute type and object class definitions may need to be edited before the definitions can be added to the directory server.
