once you have a solution could you post it because I would like to add your question to the voyage chapter.

Yes. But you probably need to customize a bit.

1.) Make sure you refer to the right collection...

descriptionContainer
�� �� �� �� <mongoContainer>
�� �� �� �� ^VOMongoContainer new
�� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� collectionName: 'yourExistingCollectionName'
�� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� yourself


2.) For materialization.. you should at least have
�� �� �� �� _id (okay every entry does that)
�� �� �� �� VOMongoSerializer fieldVersion (#version on my old Voyage)
�� �� �� �� VOMongoSerializer fieldType (#instanceOf)

and then things should work out. You can probably add #version and #instanceOf to your existing objects?
