Generating a random unique number in a SOAP UI request

In the request use,

${=System.currentTimeMillis() + ((int)(Math.random()*10000))}

example :  

	<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:ode-apache-org:example:async:client">
	<soapenv:Header/>
	<soapenv:Body>
	<urn:ClientRequest>
	<urn:id>${=java.util.UUID.randomUUID()}</urn:id>
	<urn:input>Hello Wolrd</urn:input>
	</urn:ClientRequest>
	</soapenv:Body>
	</soapenv:Envelope>

Note : Here I am generating this number by adding currant milliseconds as a prefix. So this will generate almost unique number.

Another simple way to do this. 

${=java.util.UUID.randomUUID()}
