All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Id>

public final class SimpleId

implements Serializable

A simple, untyped Id field; this is one step above having a String id
It is recommended that users extend Id themselves rather than using this type (as a SimpleId adds no discernable information about what the id is for)
