Have a look at the OJB org.apache.ojb.broker.util.GUID class. There is a little testcase that shows how to use store these GUIDs as strings into the DB and reconstruct a GUID on loading from the DB.
This is the entity class src/test/org/apache/ojb/broker/GuidTestEntity.java it uses a special FieldConversion to convert from GUID to STring (see in the repository_junit.xml) cheers, Thomas Russell Smyth wrote: > We have a need for the ability to extract from an object a unique ID (OID) > that can be > stored as a string, then used to recapture the original object.
