RequestFactory: How to retrieve an EntityProxy within another EntityProxy?

[Alexander Orlov]

I've got sth. like:

@ProxyFor(value = Report.class, locator = CommonLocator.class)

public interface ReportProxy extends EntityProxy {

    // ...

    Integer getUserId(); // works

    void setUserId(Integer userId); 

    UserProxy getUser(); // doesn't work

    void setUser(UserProxy user); 

}

@Service(value = ReportDAOService.class, locator = DAOServiceLocator.class)

public interface ReportRequest extends RequestContext {

   // ...

    Request<List<ReportProxy>> getReports(Integer sessionId);

}

Calling getReports(sessionId) retrieves the reports where getUserId()  returns the proper userId whereby getUser() returns null. On the server side calling getUser() on result.get(0)  returns the proper entity/object value as well.

Any idea, how I can get getUser()'s UserProxy representation?

By default, you only get a partial proxy. See [1] and also getPaths()
of the Editor framework.

So you basically have to do sth. like 

final Request<List<ReportProxy>> req = ctx.getReports(sessionId).with("user"); // user is the Report entity's UserProxy representation

...which works perfectly.
