I am not sure to understand correctly the way the ID is generated by EclipseLink.
The default BSON type - stored by MongoDB- for is an ObjectID that is automatically generated by the Java driver and store as a 12bytes in the db.
When I ask my entity to generate the ID for example
@Id
@GeneratedValue()
@Field(name="_id")
private String id;
It looks like EclipseLink is using the ID generated by MongoDB Driver but does not store it with the correct format. It is store as a simple string.
For example, with these annotation in the shell, the id looks like:
{ "_id" : "53F740283004D7B7A21DB58E", ...
When generated properly, in the shell it should look like:
{ "_id" : ObjectId("53f73a66300403c9041fda83"), ...
Do I have any way to generate the proper Object ID for MongoDB? (I understand that you can use anything, but I would like to have my Eclipselink application to behave the same way than other FWK)
Also when I have an existing database with some document generate by another application with the proper format, I have no idea how to query -in JQL- it by ID. (since the ID is not a string but an ObjectID). For example in the shell I would use:
db.order.find( { "_id" : ObjectId("53f73a66300403c9041fda83") } );
So, globally my question is how do we work with ObjectId in EclipseLink?
