Cassie do you have any thoughts about how you will want to do this on
the Java side?
It seems to be that it might be container specific if any given field
is unique or not, and things like unstructured names -could- also
overlap (i'm sure there's could be lot of john doe's in most SNS's :P)
Do we want to allow classes to be used as keys for indexBy or no?
If we do, then toString is a great way to make it work (in php and
java alike)

hello,
I'm working on the REST indexBy feature, and I have the following
issue,
Among the several fields that could be user for indexing a people
request, some of then can work as a key straightforward, but others,
since they're objects, they need to be converted to a string somehow.
ie yo index by name, I need to do somethink like $key = $nameObj-
>getUnstructured(); and I need to check every property to know
wether it's an object or not.
I was thinking about adding a __toString() method to those objects.
Any ideas?
As I see, the content of entry in the RestFulCollection object in
the ResponseItem returned by the PeopleService->getPeople is a
regular array, but it depends on the implementation of the service.
Shouldn't it be an array of Person Objects?
