The other place that objects can exist within an object graph are within a Map or some kind of collection (List, Set, Array, etc). Collections are easy, and are treated like any other field. For example, if our Widget contained a list of other Widgets in its widgetList field, to constrain the secret field of the Widgets in this list the annotation would look like this:
@WebRemote(exclude = {"widgetList.secret"})
public Widget getWidget();
To constrain a Map's key or value, the notation is slightly different. Appending [key] after the Map's field name will constrain the Map's key object values, while [value] will constrain the value object values. The following example demonstrates how the values of the widgetMap field have their secret field constrained:
@WebRemote(exclude = {"widgetMap[value].secret"})
public Widget getWidget();
