Hi Abe,

I believe parts of OpenJPA may rely on being able to stringify an id and then reconstruct it using the id class's Class,string constructor. (And
if not OpenJPA, then certainly Kodo's JDO bindings).

Right, so the String should be the more detailed String but with the actual subclass name instead of the superclass.

So isn't this a bug, for which we would dearly love to see a patch?

P.S. As Patrick pointed out, anyone can play with the code via svn and see where the problem is and how to fix it.

It might be good to start with a test case and we can discuss whether the behavior currently implemented is correctly designed.

I dont think anyone responded to this request yet - so I am asking again

I would like OpenJPA to remove all the toString() method on all children
class of OpenJPAId.

Reason: OpenJPAId class already has the toString() and it handles it well.
It puts the type and the id together - like this:
com.myCompany.Account-2345
This is very useful behavior when managing a cache (or even looking into
the log file).
Currently all the children have their own toString() which just outputs the id - This is not useful becuase it is not possible to distinguish between the types inside one cache. All types in the cache are DataCachePCData.

PS: Can someone give me check in right in the code base... ;) - Have a good
week end everyone.
