| * An interface to represent the unique universal id of an object. The raw (wrapped) id is of type {@link UUID}. |
| * <p> |
| * Subclasses must provide the following static factory methods: |
| * <ul> |
| * <li><b>create()</b>: used to create new ids (like a database sequence). The method is expected to return a new |
| * instance wrapping {@link UUID#randomUUID()}. |
| * <li><b>of(UUID)</b>: used by {@link IdFactory} to construct new instances. The method is expected to return |
| * <code>null</code> if the given {@link UUID} is <code>null</code>, otherwise the wrapped {@link UUID}. |
| * <li><b>of(String)</b>: used by {@link IdFactory} to construct new instances. The method is expected to return |
| * <code>null</code> if the given {@link String} is <code>null</code>, otherwise the wrapped {@link UUID}. |
| * </ul> |
| * This interface implements {@link Comparable} by comparing the wrapped {@link UUID} value, without considering the id |
| * types. Hence every {@link IUuId} is comparable to any other {@link IUuId}. |
