Unique identity of session bean

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to store some data into our database using a stateless session bean
and JDBC.
I was wondering if there is any way to uniquely identify the SLSB ( from a pool)
as it stores the info in the DB. i.e. I want to store the SLSB's identity in the
table as well. ( This is so that the same SLSB can later delete the info it inserted
into the table).
I don't think the SessionContext can provide anything that uniquely identifies
the SLSB and am not sure what else to use.

Hope it makes sense! I am currently trying to see if I can use a threadname to

uniquely identify the SLSB ( if there is some way to do it using the EJBspec,
I would
prefer that method).The process itself does make sence. Actually, you may want to use
bean's hashCode method for this purposes.
If you want to get it done right - introduce a sequence variable
in the database so for each load every bean will pick up a
new unique ID. Most of the databases support sequences.
If yours doesn't, you can implement it youself. Let me know
if you have questions how.
Hope this helps,

ask you why would you want to do something like described
above? May be we will be able to come up with a better idea.
