Jeroen van der Wal commented on ISIS-886:
-----------------------------------------

Might be that this is not needed, could simply wrap the call to the sensitive info:
{code}
public String title() {
    StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
    try {
        buf.append(wrap(this).getFirstName());
    } catch(HiddenException ex) {
        // ignore
    }
{code}

> The main use case being to allow a suitable title to be rendered (in title()) based on the users' permissions, eg:
> public String title() {
>     StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
>     if(wrapperFactory.isHidden(this, "firstName")) {
>        buf.append(this.getFirstName());
>     }
>    return buf.toString();
> }
> and isDisabled(...) similarly
