[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-975) constraint by inclusion on remote calls object fields

constraint by inclusion on remote calls object fields ----------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-975 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-975 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Remoting Reporter: Zalder R Assigned To: Shane Bryzak Priority: Optional I think it could be nice to define the fields of the objects returned in a "WebRemote call" with an "include" parameter (instead of the current exclude parameter). For instance : now you have : @WebRemote(exclude = {"secret"}) it would be nice to be able to define : @WebRemote(include = {"fieldIreallyNeed1", "fieldIreallyNeed2"}) The reasons for this are many : - security : if the object structure varies over time, you would not want the new fields to be available on the client side by default - in some cases it's a lot more lightweight (both in the code and in the volume of data sent) to define a minimum set of fields you want instead of the fields you don't want
