Marks the class @deprecated with a Javadoc pointing to JavaUuidSessionIdGenerator. Modern industry standards (OWASP ASVS, NIST SP 800-63B) require a minimum of 128 bits of entropy for session tokens. RandomSessionIdGenerator only provides 64 bits via Long.toString(SecureRandom.nextLong()). Fixes apache#2758

Hi, Wali, thanks for your contribution. We are not quite sure that the deprecation is the right way to go. Also, can you please restore the PR template, the checklist is mandatory due to copyright issues. |

Marks RandomSessionIdGenerator as @deprecated with a Javadoc pointing to JavaUuidSessionIdGenerator. The class only provides 64 bits of entropy via Long.toString(SecureRandom.nextLong()), below the 128-bit minimum required by OWASP ASVS and NIST SP 800-63B for session tokens.
