Read only collections?

[Steve Schwarz <sa...@hotmail.com>]

Hi
In my data model I have a class: ReadOnlyDesigners that contains a 
collection of instances of class: Designer. These map directly to database 
tables of the same names. I'd like to specify that from the perspective of 
the the Designers class the Designer instances are readonly. But I'd also 
like to have a collection class: CRUDDesigners that contains a collection of 
Designer instances that are fully modifyable. It seems from the repository 
docs that read-only-ness is controlled w/in the class' field-descriptor for 
the contained class. Is there anyway to specify this behavior at the 
collection level?

So far all I can think of is to extend my Designer class and create a 
ReadOnlyDesigner and put a second entry in the repository.xml with readonly 
attributes for this class, and then make ReadOnlyDesigners contain 
ReadOnlyDesigner instances.

Thanks for any ideas.
Steve
