On many systems, the only way to guarantee a unique number is to use a
database. I can send you a StatelessSessionBean that uses Sybase to generate
a unique id, but if you are trying to stay generic, I would recommend you
use a hash that is based on a random long, the timestamp the *bean was
created*, the current timestamp, and the IP address.
