when I call java.rmi.server.UID() it returns soemthing like the following 62eec8:e63f20483f:-8000 62eec8:e63f20483f:-7fff 62eec8:e63f20483f:-7ffe 62eec8:e63f20483f:-7ffd 62eec8:e63f20483f:-7ffc 62eec8:e63f20483f:-7ffb 62eec8:e63f20483f:-7ffa 62eec8:e63f20483f:-7ff9 62eec8:e63f20483f:-7ff8 62eec8:e63f20483f:-7ff7 my question is what are these values or how are they getting generated. I know they are unique values. what are the three portions? Thanks
