             Summary: UimaConterxt_ImplBase code to generate uniqueIdentifier may not be unique
                 Key: UIMA-3663
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-3663
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Java Framework
    Affects Versions: 2.5.0SDK
            Reporter: Marshall Schor
            Assignee: Marshall Schor
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 2.5.1SDK


Code in the construction of UimaConterxt_ImplBase calls UID() to get a unique id.  One use is as a way to allow (for scaled-out apps) unique identification of otherwise similar MBeans, using different mbean names. MBean names cannot have colons or dashes.  This code removes those from the string value returned by UID().  This means that 2 different UIDs that differ only in having some part have a minus sign, could be confused with another not having this.  A small test case shows this can arise if > 32768 UIMA Contexts are created within one millisecond.  While extremely unlikely, this is easily avoided, for example, by substituting _ for the characters, rather than deleting them.
