```

in my database the person was saved, but with "id" null:

```
{
"_id" : ObjectId("534fc9cbc1bb90b475a6bd82"),
"name" : "teste",
"id" : null
}
```

I'm using mongodb 2.6.0, ubuntu 13.04 and jugglingdb 0.2.13

Research direction

The error occurs in jugglingdb-mongodb at line 122, where it tries to access property '0' of null. The issue is that the scaffold saves a record with an 'id' field set to null. Start by examining the jugglingdb-mongodb adapter's create method and how it handles ID generation for MongoDB. Check the compound scaffold generation code to see how it sets up models with MongoDB. Look at the saved document structure and compare with expected schema. Run the scaffold steps locally to reproduce the error, then trace through the save flow.
