public static final class HostServiceRegistry.UniqueID
- extends BigInteger
An identifier, each instance of which is guaranteed to be unique
within a single run of the desk daemon.
It is probably also unique between runs, but that is not guaranteed.
Often used to identify a remote source of data.
Useful where the source cannot be identified by a remote reference
because it does not implement Remote.
Or because it is short lived, and so its references too are short-lived.
(Comparing a reference to remote Applet source, by equals(),
may throw an exception after page exit "Timer already cancelled".)
In these cases, a UniqueID may be used instead.
