You can use the serialver program that comes with the JDK to generate those
values.

Red Phoenix,
No, I don't think the serialVersionUID is necessary for Struts, but it
is good practice to give your Serializable classes some value for it.
Check out the Javadocs for the Serializable interface -- it's a standard
Java interface.
Probably that number was generated by calculating a hash value from the
object's fields. I seem to remember reading something about some IDEs
producing that value for you. You can maintain it yourself as well.
