You might want to look into type converters (see
http://www.stripesframework.org/display/stripes/Validation+Reference, the
Type Conversion section). That way, the ID (or any other unique field that
you choose) is indeed enough and you can have a setter that accepts the
entity.
I believe that the Stripernate/Stripersist plugin registers type converters
for all of your managed entities automatically, but I've never used it, so
I'm not sure.
