Class UniqueIdGenerator

  com.sun.ejb.codegen.UniqueIdGenerator

public class UniqueIdGenerator
extends java.lang.Object

Generates unique id for an application or stand alone ejb module. It uses the low order 6 bytes of the system current time. The remaining 2 bytes are reserved for the beans inside the application and stand alone ejb module. The unique id generated by this generator will eventually wrap after 2^48 milli-seconds (8,925.25 years). The two bytes reserved for the beans in the application or stand alone ejb module will allow max 2^16 (65,536) beans.
