+1 we can do without the hibernate dependency, making the code more portable. One question it does raise, is why are UUID used as keys? And if a class like PushApplication already has a UUID why would it need another UUID for a key?

primaryKey (database)
variant/pushAPP ID (semantic meaning)

A while ago we decided to NOT use the PK as the variant/pushAPP ID; let me see if I can find the JIRA/thread

Hello, 

today the PushApplicationID ([1]) and VariantID (iOS example: [2]) are generated w/in the RESTful endpoint class. I'd like to move that into the actual entity - similar to what we today already do with the (master)secret (e.g. [3] or [4]).

Thoughts?


While on it - I'd like to do similar to the PK all ALL entities... Today we have an (odd) Hibernate dependency (see [5]), simple b/c of JPA being lame and not providing "propper" UUID support....  So idea is to
* remove the odd annotation
* do the ID generation "by hand" (like we do on the secret (see above...))

Thoughts?

Sure, this (both items of this mail) might lead to some more re-usable code (and better tests)
