this appears to be a newbie question, I am trying to build a prototype of a CRUD reactive Mongo App using JSON Restful Webservices, I got the read, create and find thing done now I am struggeling with the update: Here is my code

object MYTest extends Controller with MongoController {
 

  def collection: JSONCollection = db.collection[JSONCollection]("mytest")

...

def editTest = Action.async(parse.json) { request =>


  request.body.validate[Test].map { test =>
    collection.update(test._id, test).map { lastError =>

    Ok(Json.obj("status" -> "OK"))
  }
}.getOrElse(Future.successful(BadRequest("invalid json")))

  }

 I have a valid JSON request using CURL or Postman :


{"_id":{"$oid":"54b51834d2856ce6006723be"},"title": "Test-33388","uri": "http://test-2","author": "tester-2","overallRating": 5,"summary": "very well done","testBody": "lorem ipsum","createDate": "13/01/2015 14:05:56","modifyDate": "13/01/2015 14:05:56"}

but I get an error 

		</style>
        </head>
        <body id="play-error-page">
            <h1>Execution exception</h1>
            <p id="detail" class="pre">[LastError: DatabaseException[&#x27;unknown top level operator: $oid&#x27; (code = 2)]]</p>
        </body>
    </html>
