Java Programming

Hi all,


I just need some inputs over the best practices to generate UUIDs in typical internet world where there are multiple servers/JVMs involved for load balancing or traffic distribution etc. I know JAVA is shipped with very efficient UUID generator API.

But still that doesn't solve the issue in multiple server environment.

For the discussion sake lets assume I need it to be unique over the setup than a near unique.

How do you guys approach it?

Thanks you all in advance.
