Um, unless I'm missing something, the approach outlined at the URL below is subject to a classic race condition. This is a really *BAD* idea! Don't do it!
Oracle provides DBMS_LOCK for a reason. Implement DBMS_LOCK in your code, as Riyaj suggested previously, and there will not be an issue. Doing the way it's outlined in that article, (ab)using DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO, is a really bad idea.

I like this a lot. Will this work with connection pooling where physical connections are being reused.

Another method would be to make use of application locks to actually create serial access to sequences. This can be achieved by using dbms_application_info to update v$session and then referring this value for releasing resources to one session at a time. I have used this logic in different scenarios to avoid two sessions from using the same resource. has worked perfectly.
Thanks!
