Hi,
I m uploading a file using with FormFile (Struts).
What is the best way to save it with unique name for each file (so it won't overwrite exiting ones)?

I prefer to save then as BLOBs in a database. However, if you're going to store them on the file system I'd use a timestamp.

Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
