UUID - Java

2013-01-03 Thread Baskar Sikkayan 
Hi,
  I use the following code to generate the primary key.

public static java.util.UUID getTimeUUID() {

return java.util.UUID.fromString(new
com.eaio.uuid.UUID().toString());

}

Is this the correct approach?

Do let me know if there i any better approach which guarantees no conflicts.

Thanks,
Baskar.S

Another option is PlayOrm UniqueKeyGenerator.generateKey().  While it is not 
returning a UUID, it does return a unique key for a specific cluster that is 
nice and short too.
