Description Author

This class can generate record IDs that map to real DB record IDs.

It can generate random ID values with number values that start with high values.

The class can check if the ID was already generated before and regenerate it if it is the case.

The class can associate the generated ID to a real ID used to identify real records.

Prize: One book of choice by Packt		 Many sites use the sequential identifiers used in database records to pass references to information about those records in URLs of the site Web pages.

This fact may help people that scrape information from Web site pages because they can guess what is the next page URL by incrementing the identifier value used in a given page.

This class can generate IDs for records that map to real database records. This way a scraper cannot guess the real ID of a package, and so cannot guess the identifier of the next pages.
