How unique is a session ID?

807606May 2 2007 — edited May 2 2007

Dear All,

I am using session.getId() in a JSP page for some sessions-based calculations. It is very important that the IDs generated are as unique as possible. Does anyone know the (practical) probability that two IDs generated are the same? The program using these IDs is expected to run more or less continuously for several years.

Regards,

Fred
