Yes, but quite some efforts would be required. Reading the insertIds
this is the format's job. Format.GeoJSON does not know about insertIds.
The best thing to do here would be to subclass Format.GeoJSON and create
e.g. a Format.GeoJSON.FeatureServer. The next thing is that you need a
protocol that can handle insertIds. Protocol.HTTP cannot do that, so
this would also have to be extended.

I am also quite new to the vector behavior stuff, so I might be wrong.
But to me it seems that the above should work.

Let me know when you need more help, because I have to gain deeper
insight into that code anyway and doing it for a purpose other than just
looking at it will also make it easier for me.

Regards,
Andreas.
