[Geotools-gt2-users] Problem with getting fid for versioned-postgis

[gershwinou <ger...@gm...>]

Hi all, i was on geoserver list but i think this is more a geotools
question:

I am using postgis-versioning datastore, and this ok for now.
Issue:
- I parse myself some incoming featured (from kml format) and thanks to the
last build of geoserver, the kml contains the fid, so I know which features
are to be updated.
- I try to create features against the postgis schema. The problem is that i
can't set the fid (the method is protected). Is that a design choice (from
what i have read in the archive: yes)?
- Somehow i have to subclass FeatureType i guess, but i have to say i am
lost at this point. Any pointer to helping me?
