Hi Steven,
how are you declaring your submission? Setting the editable
constraint on the createdTime property to false, should exclude it
from the submission, and hence also exclude it from fillSubmissionBean.
Best regards,
Geert

I have a persistent bean with a "created time" property. I want to
set it once at creation time then never touch it again.
In my handler for a form to edit the bean in question, I have the
equivalent of this:
bean = queryManager.restore(getInputInt("beanId"));
fillSubmissionBean(bean);
if (bean.validate()) {
... save it ...
} else {
generateForm(template, bean);
print(template);
}
When I try to call fillSubmissionBean() in a handler for a form
that doesn't include a field for the creation time, RIFE nulls out
the creation time rather than leaving it alone. That causes my
validation to fail (the property has a notNull(true) constraint)
and I get a "mandatory" message in my form's error section, not
attached to any field.
I've tried fiddling with the likely-looking constraints on this
property, though not exhaustively. A bunch of the properties in
ConstrainedProperty aren't really documented in the Javadoc; is
there a list somewhere of what all the constraints do? In
particular, I thought "editable", "saved", and "persistent" might
be relevant, but the Javadoc doesn't describe what any of them do.
None of them appear to do the trick (though I didn't try them in
combination.)
Bottom line: is there any way to get fillSubmissionBean() to leave
a property alone? I really don't want to ship this property out to
the user's web browser and back to the server. As a workaround I'm
filling in the remaining properties one at a time in my code, which
works fine but kind of defeats the purpose of having bean-based
form submission.
