I would like to allow the user to somehow specify which elements they care about for an object, so that the output can be optimized as well as the queries backing the service.
For instance, if a call is made to retrieve a Contact and the user specifies "firstName,lastName", I only want the output to contain those fields. Secondarily, getting rid of empty elements would be nice. This could be via a URL for instance: /contact/2?fields=firstName,lastName Does CXF provide any mechanism for doing the above? If there is no mechanism for performing the dynamic selection of elements, a configuration for eliminating empty elements in output would at least allow me to easily create a servlet filter/interceptor that got the job done. Thanks in advance. Cheers, David
