unique ID

[Angelo Chen <an...@yahoo.com.hk>]

Hi,

Sorry, this is not Tapestry related, I need to generate a unique ID so that
user can confirm their registration by clicking a link like:
http://mydomain.com/confirm/1234568798, if I use java.rmi.server.UID, the
code does not look good for this job:-5a9a0257:1158cfbcadf:-7fff, any hints
to share? thanks.

A.C.

Re: unique ID

[Nick Westgate <ni...@key-planning.co.jp>]

Encode to hex or base64 to make the link "presentable".

Also the user's id should be unique, so use that for uniqueness.
Store a randomized token (number or string etc) in the user's
data and then encode/encrypt the id and the token in the link.

Cheers,
Nick.
