| Yoann Rodière, Thanks for th quick response. No I didn't try those . I've been digging a bit more and it seems like your 2 options are best to me, a third is to write a custom FieldBridge. I prefer the neatness of includeEmbeddedObjectId = true as there are some other cases where I need more than just id (and I don't like hard-ish coded strings. And the effort of FieldBridge isn't the best for what I am using this for (filtering by user configuration.) I now see this was all documented in section 4.1.3. Embedded and associated objects. A little more time is needed to test, and then I should be able to close this as a Not a Bug. Jim. |
