A ValueEncoder that supports any mapper might be quite hard to accomplish. It's not like there's some standard API on top of the driver, like JPA that we could rely on. Although the integration of morphia and mongo-jackson-mapper is very similar I could bet that other mappers might take a completely different approach.
Let's compare with the SQL-world: there are two modules, tapestry-jpa and tapestry-hibernate (-core) for the integration. With JPA you may integrate any persistence provider. With mongodb you've just got the driver as a common base. Let's take the integration of ValueEncoder as an example: 1. you need a class that maps to an entity a.k.a. document 2. you need to know how the id field is called within the mapped entity class 3. morphia and mongo-jackson-mapper provide collections for classes so you can query for documents by id and cast to the entity (just like the ValueEncoder for hibernate) I would be able to come up with an API that could work for these two mappers but with every new mapper, don't you think it would become hard to support a mapper agnostic API? Don't know how far you got with your integrations so far but I could create a project on github with just the mongodb integration that I've got at the moment.
