Hi Dirk, getItem() will always fetch the current state of the requested object from the server and update the local instance with the result if it exists. If you don't have auto sync enabled (server pushed updates) this is how you can periodically refresh your local instance.
If you call getItem() you'll already have a reference to the item so just hang onto that. If you've fill()'ed and you want to get a reference to an instance in your filled ArrayCollection take a look at the ICursor.find<X>() APIs.

Is there any way in FDMS to get an item without really going to the server if it's on the client already? I found that calling dataService.getItem(uid) always goes to the server, even if the item in question is available on the client. This is unnecessary overhead IMHO if the item is available in the DataStore/Collection. Do I have to implement my own lookup strategy here???
