How to retrieve entity raw datastore Key through Objectify?

Earlier, I created my entities this way: Entity entity = new Entity("Person", personName);. Which means the ID/Name of this entity will be personName.

Now, I've decided to use Objectify. So I've created a Person.java class to represent this entity.

My question: how can I retrieve the key (either a com.google.appengine.api.datastore.Key or the raw string representation) of the entity using Objectify? Previously, I was able to simply do a personEntity.getKey(). But I'm still trying to figure out how to do that with Objectify after using it to wrap around the Low Level Datastore API.

Objectify's Key<?> has a method getRaw() which will get you the low-level Key. Check the javadocs.

If you are using the latest 4.0 code, try Key.create(yourEntityPOJO).getRaw().
