org.tm4j.topicmap.utils .IDGeneratorImpl
Description
The default IDGenerator implementation. This implementation returns a two-part, pseudo-unique ID. The first part of the ID is the time (in milliseconds) of the creation of the object, encoded as a base 30 string. The second part of the ID is a simple incrementing counter. This class does not generate truely unique IDs, but the degree of uniqueness should be sufficient for most applications.
