[FEATURE] Map string with format uuid to java.util.UUID in Java generator #2305
Description
Why do we need this improvement?
Currently, when using the Java generator in Modelina, properties defined as type: string with format: uuid in the schema are mapped to plain String fields in the generated Java classes. However, for better type safety and semantic correctness, it would be preferable to map such fields to the java.util.UUID type.
Given this schema:
type: object
properties:
id:
type: string
format: uuid
Currently, Modelina generates:
public class MyModel {
private String id;
}
Expected:
public class MyModel {
private java.util.UUID id;
}
Thank you for considering this enhancement!
How will this change help?
java.util.UUID provides stronger type-safety and utility methods compared to raw String.
This would align better with Java conventions for representing UUIDs.
