Mar 11, 2022 at 16:46 comment added Ralf Kleberhoff @JaeBradley Instead of using something as generic as a Union2<UUID, Integer> for your situation, you'd specify what operations an identity has to support (e.g a resolveToEntity() method), and have the implementing classes provide their way to find the Entity. That's polymorphism, and IMHO perfectly solves your identities situation.
