Hmm, maybe a method on Patch is reasonable.

Going down this route, I'd add a few things to Patch.
patchId would be a private field (of type ObjectId?)
getPatchId would be a public method that returns patchId
and then likely a private method (computePatchId?) that actually  
generates the patchId

Sure, but getPatchId can compute it on demand on the first call,
and anyone who modifies the Patch would just need to clear out
the cached patchId value so the next call (if it ever comes) to
getPatchId would force it to recompute.

Most users of Patch won't want the patchId, so there is no reason
to compute it.

Works for me, that's even easier. I'll get to work on implementing this,
but between (re-)learning Java and our legal dept, don't know when I'll
have a finished product to share...

I'll continue to post questions as I get them.
Thanks everyone for their help thus far :)
