No, I'm not sure. I guess I just wanted it there to check if the IDs were really unique, and if not, why...So I'll take it out... > > How confident are we that this leads to a unique id?

Fair enough. > I don't know what the runtime hash is but > I guess it will be same if you're inside the same JVM. Yes, I thought of that while vaccuming. It also does not uniquely ID a JVM (my intent). > The client ip > will be the same. Yep. And to be fair, the most frequently encountered scenario involves one client machine--not several. > And the currentTimeMillis() will probably be the same > for several requests generated at the same time. Hmmmm, ok, I see your point. > > Am I wrong? :-) No. :( > Maybe adding a random number would do the trick? Or using an existing > unique id algorithm? There are several that exists on the web.
