I'm just starting out using data services with Java, and I've become
pretty comfortable filling collections with results from MySQL, etc.,
but here's an issue I have:

I have a long list of customers that gets pulled when a user logs in.
A drop down list displays all of the customers, and when selected the
information about that customer (address, city, state, etc.) is
supposed to be pulled from the database.

The issue is I don't want ALL of customers data pulled initially, just
their name.

So I have a class called customer that is managed and tied to a
corresponding Java class, and my dataservices fills an array
collection called clients with a bunch of these customer datatypes,
while ONLY setting the customer id and the name. There are other
properties in the class, such as address, etc., but they are left
null. There is also a boolean property called isSet which is by
default false.

I wanted my application to, when the customer is changed, figure out
if the customer data has been loaded yet (based on the isSet boolean)
and then fill in the rest of the classes' properties with that
particular customer's data. I then want to bind these properties to
text inputs so that if changed they'll be updated on the server.

Any suggestions on how I could do this?

Thanks,
Brennan
