Re: How to not persist an object

OpenAMF uses JavaBeans introspection to discover properties.

If you want OpenAMF to ignore certain properties (getter methods), then
you need to implement a BeanInfo class.

Question:  *What is introspection in JavaBeans?

**Answer*:
Introspection is the ability to ask a JavaBean component what properties
and events it supports. By default, introspection is supported by
reflection, where you name methods with certain naming patterns, like
set/getProperty() and add/removeListener(). You can also explicitly
expose the bean's behavior through creation of a BeanInfo class related
to the bean. The BeanInfo class can be used for many things, like
setting up an icon for the component when used in a bean builder tool
like JBuilder, limiting the properties available, or mapping methods to
properties that don't follow standard naming patterns.
