Making GWT ignore fields in models

[Daniel Colchete]

Good day everyone!

I'm having a problem that already have been discussed a lot but I couldn't find a solution for it online.

I have a model called Case1Model that implements Serializable correctly. I started using ORMLite to persist objects on the server (really simple to use). I would like to use the same class with ORMLite and GWT. The problem is that one field of Case1Model doesn't work with GWT on the client and I would like to ignore it. I already tried using @GwtTransient on the fields, and also @GwtIncompatible on the field and getters/setters but the I'm getting exactly the same error when I try to run the code on Development mode.

The error message is:
        [ERROR] [project] - Line 51: No source code is available for type com.j256.ormlite.dao.ForeignCollection<T>; did you forget to inherit a required module?

Creating two classes, one for each, would, kind of, go against the main reason why I'm using an ORM witch is exactly avoid writing code to instantiate and to persist the models I use on the GWT side. I'm trying to avoid something like model1.setField1(model2.getField1()) for all the fields.

What do you recommend?

Thank you very much!

Best,

I would recommend looking at RequestFactory. Especially dealing with ORM, this is a life saver as for time and functionality. (Especially pay attention to the Entity Proxy.]
