Hi, 

Everything seems to be fine.

However, I was wondering if you would have a better idea on how to implement the BeanReferenceMapConverter. I find that my solution is a bit of a hack.

When persisting a map of reference, we must save the key in the map and the UUID of the referenced node. But, since there are no implementation of javax.jcr.Value that offer the possibility to store 2 strings (the key and the UUID), I was left with encoding the 2 inside a String:

value="MAPKEY:*keyInTheMapMAPVALUE:{color}adjklq3e-rcq45f-4g3579-4fsd-345fsd"

Is there a better way of storing 2 strings as a value in the node?
If no, are you comfortable with this approach?

> OCM should support the mapping of maps of referenced beans.
> @Collection(collectionConverter= BeanReferenceCollectionConverterImpl.class)
