Description
Matan Shukry opened DATAMONGO-1590 and commented
Lookign at SimpleMongoRepository, MongoRepositoryFactory, MappingMongoEntityInformation in spring, it seems MappingMongoEntityInformation will always be used for type information about a class.
If that is the case, an entity that implements org.springframework.data.domain.Persistable isn't taken into account.
In my specific use case, where I would like to generate sequential ids (I'm using an extra query for the database using an extra collection so it'd be unique), the id isn't empty when I'm saving it, and as a result SimpleMongoRepository will always try to 'update' rather than insert a new record.
I didn't follow the entire flow, but from a quick glance, it seems the insert is the better option, when the entity isn't created.
p.s.
I'm also looking for a way to create a custom id generator. I'll open a different ticket for it (feature request), but I'm guessing it's related. Not sure if it matters
