You can store a "last ID" counter as an int property on the top-level folder, and increment that for every object you create.

Under Zope2 the counter must be thread-safe, which means you've got to borrow of Zope's global -- I think -- thread locks.

If the object is persistent, like a property, it is automaticly thread safe. The object database does not allow two threads to update an object simultaneously. -Michel
