New issue 384 by ones...@gmail.com: TypeConverter ignored for referenced
member
http://code.google.com/p/morphia/issues/detail?id=384

I define a TypeConverter like this :

morphia.getMapper().getConverters().addConverter( new IDConverter() );

and yet my class User, referenced Client, has an ID member that is not
being converted -- even though the member of the User class is converted
properly. So the converter seems to be ignored in the referenced class.

@Entity
public class User {
@Id
ID id;
@Reference
IClient client;
}

@Entity
public class Client {
@Id
ID id;
}

The IDConverter works fine - if I mark the client as @Transient.

Here is the decode method :

@Override
public Object decode(final Class targetClass, final Object
fromDBObject, final MappedField optionalExtraInfo) throws MappingException {
return new ID((String) fromDBObject);
}
