Package org.sape.carbon.services.uniqueid Description

The Carbon Unique ID Service solves the problem of generating unique IDs for data that are independent of the data representation itself. It can be used to get unique id numbers which serve as key values for database tables before the data is inserted into the table. Using generated or surrogate keys for business data allows changes to the underlying data to not effect the nature or identity of the data so that it can continue to be tracked.
