Edit

• RegistrationIdentifierMinter needs access with direct access to the persitence storage in order to verify a new created identifier is not yet existing.
• mint() method
  • @synchronized
  • returns localId and identifier
• RegistrationIdentifierMinter should be bound to the application context as singleton Spring Bean
• The RegistrationIdentifierMinter needs to be configurable:
  • minLocalId
  • maxLocalId
  • idGenerationMethod:
    • naturalNumberIncrement (this is the only method that needs to be implemented so far)
  • identifierFormatString (a java format string where as '%s' will we used as placeholder for the loaclIdentifier)

The implementation of the idGenerationMethod needs to check if the new identifier is still in the range [minLocalId, maxLocalId], In case there to no identifier left in this range the minter needs to throw an exception: IdentifierMinterOutOfIdsException

• the identifierFormatString for phycobank will be: "http:\\phycobank\%s"
