I have similar problems, I'm using Struts and have a framework (based on
Torque) that turns XML schemas in to FormBeans.  Then I can copy data
from a form bean to a torque object or vice versa using BeanUtils. 
However I had to modify my framework to support NumberKey, StringKey,
etc so that BeanUtils could copy back and forth.  I'd much rather have
all the *Key stuff out of site.

I'd be in favor of changing this before Torque gets out of beta, but
it's probably too late for that.
