@RooMongoEntity(identifierType = Binary.class)

[hnluu]

I would like to use org.bson.types.Binary for the _id field as part of a RooMongoEntity, but that doesn't seem to be supported currently as I am getting the following exception:

"Type org.bson.types.Binary does not meet the specification for type parameter 2 (ID extends java.io.Serializable) in generic type org.springframework.data.repository.PagingAndSorti ngRepository"

I have tried spring-data-mongodb versions: 1.0.0.M5, 1.0.2.RELEASE, 1.1.0.M1.

MongoTemplate itself works fine writing and reading DBObjects with _id fields of type org.bson.types.Binary.

Has anyone been successful using org.bson.types.Binary for their _id field?

This combination did the trick -- basically I upgraded to a version of the mongo-java-driver that has a serializable Binary type and excluded the mongo-java-driver that comes with the spring-data-mongodb artifact.
