Does Blaze support Transient objects

[rclarke1]

Hi,
I am want to Set some custom objects into an EntityView that I have cached that are not part of a query, is this possible? I have tried annotating with Transient but that does is not working.
Thanks

Hello. You can use abstract classes and cache whatever you want, or even use @MappingParameter to inject non-existing optional parameters, which you could use to store data also within interfaces.

Thanks,
Can the @MappingParameter be used for a collection?
: I am trying:

        @MappingParameter("serviceCodes")
	List<ServiceCodeDto> getServiceCodes(); 	
	void setServiceCodes(List<ServiceCodeDto>  set);

This working fine for me in on my code locally using Spring boot but when I push the code to heroku I get:

The initialization of the static metamodel class 'nz.co.submitkit.blazeviews.AppointmentView_' failed: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not set static com.blazebit.persistence.view.metamodel.MethodListAttribute field nz.co.submitkit.blazeviews.AppointmentView_.serviceCodes to com.blazebit.persistence.view.impl.metamodel.attribute.MappingMethodSingularAttribute

Wrapping the collection in another class worked for my purposes

It should be usable, but I guess this is a bug. Thanks for reporting. I created #1497 for this purpose
