I took care of the structure differences by writing a decorator class around the root entity and then using the entity rest delegate to handle primary keys, etc. Works great.

I'm not aware of a solution, beside maybe creating a item class that would extend from OrderItem and you could use the sub-class. But I must say that in my point of view, when setExternalNameForInternalName is called, it should be change the type and the name. But changing that on a framework that people already use would be problematic.
