Frank, I have found that it is the easiest to use a UUID that combines the time with some random number in a java Long object. These values are so ridiculously big that it is almost impossible to get a duplicate key, but of course you have to make arrangements in your code to catch the DuplicateKeyException and generate a new key, but I can assure you that this will not happen often...

I have seen lots of vague descriptions of how to do it and some specific ones that are all followed by other comments from people why that solution doesn't work. Does anyone have a specific solution and the complete code to do this they can share? This seems like it must be a very common problem that ought to have a standard solution. Help. I'm really getting frustrated.
