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
