Thanks Nimer and Paul for you help. If UIDUtil.createUID() function provided a unique id, even if that is not globally unique, I think it will be enough for me.
What I want is that I can get unique ids for messages created by a client during a session (on single machine) and that unique id is convertible to .NET Guid on server side. If a user logins agains or if another user is using the application simultaneously and they get the same ids generated by UIDUtil, it will not create problem in my scenario. --- Paul Decoursey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That is a uid generator, not a uuid generator.
