embedded field with converter

[AndyD]

I'm having a little trouble getting an embedded field with a converter to be stored the way I want.

My model class looks like

class X{
    private Y mY;

}

where Y is:

class Y {
    private long mLongValue;

}

What I want is for the entity corresponding to X to have a property called mY with the value of mLongValue.  I'm trying to accomplish this by telling twig that all fields of type Y should be embedded, and by providing a pair of converters from Y to long and vice versa.  However, what I'm getting is a property called mY.mLongValue -- it seems like twig doing a bottom-up field translation and ignoring my converters.

My overridden Configuration.embed() method looks like:

    public boolean embed(final Field field) {

        if (field.getType().equals(Y.class)

            return true;

        return false;

    }

and my overridden StandardObjectDatastore.createTypeConverter() method looks like:

    protected CompositeTypeConverter createTypeConverter() {

        CompositeTypeConverter converter = super.createTypeConverter();

        // register converters that convert from Y to Long and vice versa

        converter.register(new Converter<Y , Long>() {

            @Override

            public Long convert(final Y y) {

                return y.getLongValue();

            }

        });

        converter.register(new Converter<Long, Y>() {

            @Override

            public Y convert(final Long longValue)

            {

                return new Y(longValue);

            }

        });

        return converter;

    }

Anybody see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

OK, I solved it on my own after some more debugging.  I was missing a piece of the puzzle, namely, I needed to also override Configuration.typeOf() like so:

    public Type typeOf(final Field field) {

        if (field.getType().equals(Y.class))

            return Long.class;

        return super.typeOf(field);

    }
