I guess I'll have to answer it myself.<g> I realized I could make javascript generate a random number as part of the request. This doesn't solve the need for uniqueness but with a large enough range and anticipating a low volume of requests I should be able to devise a workaround. If anyone can tell me how the unique randon keys could/should be generated within Zope, that would be preferable, and I'd learn something.
I need to create DTML Documents with a [pseudo]unique [pseudo]random id. I can create the objects okay using manage_clone, and I have a method that generates my "unique" "random" id, but I can't seem to create either: a) create the object and then rename it using the random number, or b) [more desirable] create the object with the random id.
Ideas? Thanks.
