Andrew,

I started using WO in 1995, and we use UIDs heavily for the last 6 years (to tag all finance transactions, electronic docs, phone calls, stars and galaxies, and long sessions). We never ever experienced any problem. I believe I can confidently advise that it is time to check your sources.

cheers

Hello Pierre;

I am using the bytes supplied by the TGID to make a globally unique code (hex string of the bytes), but have had a couple of cases where duplicates appear to have arisen downstream somehow -- I doubted this was possible after reading about how the bytes are assembled. I was asking to see if anybody else has had any troubles with this technique, but nobody seems to have. I will trial the J2SE UUID approach and if the same problem does arise again then it will tend to indicate that it is my problem.

Thanks for the feedback.

cheers.

Can you elaborate on the problem? I have relied on a very similar algorithm for years and I have never seen a problem.

Thanks for that. I had come across that class too.
