I don't know anything about the details of the Java API, but I can tell you about the two ways to get a user ID. The first, as you know about, is to require the user to authenticate the application. You don't necessarily need to redirect the user anywhere to do this if you're using FBML and put requirelogin="1" on some HTML links or form elements and an in-page "Authorise this app" popup will appear.
Once they've authorised the app you'll get the fb_sig_user parameter passed in each request.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
