To identify my JDO objects in Google App Engine I use the Key type. It
works fine but when I need to pass this through urls it gets sort of
long.

For example: 
http://mysite.com/user/aghtaWx1LWFwcHIZCxIGTXlVc2VyGAMMCxIHTXlJbWFnZRgHDA

When viewing my entities in my admin viewer I can see that the
data-store also sets an "id" for my entity object, which seems to be
an incremental numeric value, which is quite short compared to the Key
string. Can I use this to grab information on my object? How do I do
this? I tried using getObjectbyId() with the id instead of the key...
it doesn't work.

Also, should I be using a Long type to identify objects instead of Key types?
