[TYPO3-mvc] extbase: Use another field than uid for action controllers

[Stefan Isak]

Hi,

you should always deal with objects, instead of particular properties. 
Whenever you have an object, you can access the uid as well as your custom id. So I don't see the point, yet.

What you might want to achieve is searching for an object based on a specific query string.
Therefore you simply pass your query string and use $this->myRepo->findBy[PropertyName]($queryString) to find respective objects.

Cheers
Stefan
