We have a ROP Cayenne application we'd like to lock down a bit more tightly. In 
particular, in a situation where we don't trust the client application hasn't 
been hacked, we'd like to restrict certain activity from the client. I'm 
thinking of:

1. preventing SQLTemplate/EJBQL queries completely
2. adding entity listeners to catch certain write behaviour (we can't do a lot 
about reading data since that's easy to do at the controller level, on the 
client, but pretty hard to construct rules at the model level on the server)
3. creating 'partial' object entities which are missing some attributes. Sort 
of hollow, but only hollow on some attributes.


Has anyone attempted anything similar to the above? (2) should be easy enough, 
but not sure about the other requirements.


Cheers
Ari
