Re: RequestFactory .with() to access non-relation (primitive) properties?

I'm pretty sure by default you can't. If you feel the urge to fiddle you could do something in ServiceLayerDecorator.getProperty that picks up on some extra state with the request. I know the requirement you mean though. Some extra layer of fetch profile. Not sure it would be worth the extra

Thanks for the reply. Yea :/, the work involved in fiddling with the service layer decorator and server-side RF at that level currently outweighs the benefit for my need which is what I was avoiding. I think if I fiddled at that level I might just end up making the .with() work with primitives

If you try the multiple Proxies approach could you report back to the group? Be interesting to hear if it works out nicely. Proxies being allowed to have their own inheritance tree etc seems powerful but I'm quite sure for good or evil. On Wednesday, July 24, 2013 12:20:11 PM UTC+1, GWTter

Will do. My approach would involve distinct proxies since I don't think RF allows for inheritance on EntityProxys even if they both have @proxyfor defined because it looks for the methods defined exactly on the proxy (it definitely won't currently let you do it server-side with your locators).

Hi Thomas, This is great, I was hoping this was the case. I knew polymorphism worked well but I wasn't sure whether you could define EntityProxy super classes and that RF would still be able to find the super class properties from the child proxy without having to explicitly define them in the

Hi all, I have a String username field on a user entity which I'd rather not populate whenever I request it which is why I have not defined the getter in the EntityProxy. This works fine, however there are some instances where I would like to have RequestFactory populate that string field when
