YAML data format for mongodb collections and referenced entities - scala

Question

I want to load test data in my scala play application from data.yml file
which is in YAML format.
My entities looks like:
#Entity("users")
User(#Required val uname: String, val isAdmin: Boolean = false) {
#Id var id: ObjectId = _
#Reference val accounts = new ArrayList[Account]
}
#Entity("account")
class Account {
#Id var id: ObjectId = _
#Embedded val addresses = new ArrayList[Address]
#Reference val departments = new ArrayList[Department]
var description : String = _
}
class Address {
street: String = _
city: String = _
}
#Entity("department")
class Department {
#Id var id: ObjectId = _
principal: String = _
}
This is what almost a blank data.yml look like:
User(foo):
uname: Foo
accounts:
I want to load one user with 2 accounts. One of the account has just one address and one department, the other account has 2 addresses and one department to keep things as simple as possible. So what the complete yml data looks to achieve this?

Answer 1

Why can't you just use lists with keys? Using the '- key' notation or '[key1, key2]'? Example:
Department(dep1):
..
Address(address1):
..
Address(address2):
..
Account(account1):
..
addresses:
- address1
departments:
- dep1
Account(account2):
..
addresses:
- address1
- address2
departments:
- dep1
User(user1):
..
accounts:
- account1
- account2
