I am not sure what you are trying to do here. You can use the annotations to product any XML you like..

Subject: [Simple-support] How to abbreviate lists of objects

Hi,

My business model is getting big, and the XML produced by simple is very large, for example, when I get a list of objects. I wondering if there is a way to get the list of objects with less elements, I mean, avoid  the associations of the objects) and just get the primitive values, in order to get an small list.

Ex: //psedo definition
Person{
String name;
Person[] friends;
}

//generated xml:

<List>
<person name="Bill">
<person name="Hillary">
<person name="Kate">
</List>

Then, get the list of all persons, but every person comes only with the name.

And obtain the whole object (with associations )when I need an specific object.

<person name="Bill">
     <friends>
           <person name="Hillary">
           .
           .
           <person name="N">
    </friends>
</person>

Thanks in advance.
