Swift is a good car....but Santro beats it!!!
I did do lot of comparing before I settled for Santro.

Simply create a java.util.Random object and write a loop to have it generate some random numbers (integers), and cast them to characters. For example:

This is eaxctly what I had in mind.
Glad to know that this could be a good algorithm.

What sort of algorithm can be used for random password generation? I do not want a very complex algorithm. A simple but effective approach would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!!
I have deleted my duplicate thread from the intermediate forum.
Now wondering what could be the problem??

I understan dabout cross-posting, initially I thought it was Tomcat problem, but later I realzied that it was a diffferent problem altogether. Hence posted in another forum --

This is what I see in status, it does show JVm version correctly --

Tomcat Version JVM Version JVM Vendor OS Name OS Version OS Architecture
Apache Tomcat/5.0.28 1.5.0_01-b08 Sun Microsystems Inc. Windows XP 5.1 x86


So what could be the problem???

assert condition;

There is no problem with the code, it has been working for more than 2 years now. Moreover, the problem is with "assert" itself. If i change code here, error shofts to another place where assert has been used. Somehow my JVM itself is having problems with "assert". I use Java 5 and that's the only JVM on machine, moreover it just worked couple of days ago!!!

See another post here --

Any clues why would this happen???

I am using Java 5, and JAVA_HOME has been set properly, I wonder what could be the problem??? Interestingly even some ANT targets running Java fail with similar problems so I think Java itself is having problems with assert (I did try to use -ea) in the code. What can I do now???

Suddenly I am having a very weird problem with Tomcat, and it was working a couple of days ago. I have used "assert" in my code liberally, and it compiles just fine with ANT. And it did work fine in Apache Tomcat till recently -- however, now for some weird reason Tomcat fails with Internal Server Error and this is wat I get in logs -- suggesting that asertiosn are for some reason are creating problems. What could be the reason??? How can I fix this problem???

java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
assert cannot be resolved to a type
Duplicate local variable condition
