Creating random file names

[Sandeep Advani]

Is it possible to create filenames dynamically ?

Application A accepts byte codes from multiple clients which it needs to write on to the disk saved as randomly generated file names. Application A needs to execute them after storing them in the local file system; hence handling and distinguishing multiple requests is necessary by saving them as separate file names. Any idea ?

How about an array of whatever digits you want ..
and then a random number generator for the indices of the digits you want in your filename.

Sound like fun?
Simple, yet effective

The java.io.File class has an API to automatically create random file names:

static File createTempFile(String prefix, String suffix)

Creates an empty file in the default temporary-file directory, using the given prefix and suffix to generate its name
