Remoting: How to exclude fields in elements of collection?

[rituraj_tiwari]

This is something I could not deduce from the Seam docs:

My @WebRemote Method returns a List<SomeEntity>:

@Webremote
public List<SomeEntity> getEntities();

I would like to constrain SomeEnrity.secret from being returned.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

not sure, what you want

you could of course loop over the list and set secret to "" or whatever.

[shane.bryzak]

If SomeEntity has a @Name (let's say it's someEntity) then you would do it like this:

@WebRemote(exclude = {"[someEntity].secret"})

Otherwise, specify the fully qualified class name:

@WebRemote(exclude = {"[com.mycompany.model.SomeEntity].secret"})

Shayne,
Thanks for the help. It worked beautifully.
