FDS and Read-Only Properties

[DanteEC]

Hi,



I am pretty new to FDS and am trying to get it to work in my
Object model. A few of my Java objects have read only properties.
i.e. They only have a getter and not a setter. It seems that FDS
doesn't really like this.



When i use <mx:TraceTarget /> on the client, i get an
error that says "Item retrieved from fill/page response from server
is missing and id", and my client side object has a null id.



My Java POJO object is not missing an id property. It has
only a getId() property on the POJO, but not a setId property.



As soon as I add a setId property, everything works fine and
my id is populated on the client. For other reasons, i do not want
to have a setter on all my POJOs. Is there a way to tell FDS that
it is okay to have a read only property? I just want it to read the
ID, and bring it down to the client.



Thanks!

I am a bit surprised that i haven't gotten a single response.
If someone can confirm or deny the behavior that i am seeing, i
would be most grateful. Thanks!

Yes, you need the getters and setters in FDS, however you can
make this work with a custom IExternalizable. Check out Peter
Farland's blog for an example:
