This behavior is still present for me. Either with 1.2.2.Final and 1.2.3.Final
All my entities generates a bean in which there is an id with type Long, no matter if the key is int or String, neither if it is composed or referenced.

> When running:
> scaffold from-entity ~.domain.* --overwrite
> The generated view Bean will always use an id field as a long, even if the entity uses a different type for the @Id.  For instance, this code, in an Entity class called ValMealtype:
> @Id
> @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
> @Column(unique=true, nullable=false, length=20)
> private String meal;
> Generates, in ValMealtypeBean:
> private Long id;
> <-- associated gettters and setters -->
> And, later in the class:
> return ValMealtypeBean.this.entityManager.find(ValMealtype.class, Long.valueOf(value));
> That line in particular doesn't work at all, of course, since a Long can't be parsed out of a non-numeric String.  I suppose I could name my meals with hex digits . . . CAFE . . . BEEF . . . but sadly, Chicken isn't going to fly.
> Basically, scaffold probably needs to look at the type of @Id in the entity and use that to set the id field type in the generated bean.
> As this is reported against a non-current release, I understand it may be fixed already.  In this case, a new Beta of JBDS 5 is probably in order, as that's where I'm seeing this issue.
