Hi katit;

By default, database views are read-only. You can make a db view updatable by following this guide. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/alexj/archive/2009/09/01/tip-34-how-to-work-with-updatable-views.aspx

In DevForce, to limit access to entities, you can

1. Change the member visibility - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/model-member-visibility

2. Add save authorization attribute - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/model-edm-designer-properties#HEntityEDMProperties

3. Intercept the save on the server by inheriting from EntityServerSaveInterceptor class and override its AuthorizeSave method. http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/save-lifecycle-server#HInterceptortemplatemethods

Hope this helps.

I need to create another EntityManager for data lookups. It will be based on views from database.
 
I would like to make all of those entities "read only" and as light as possible. I turned off validation and attributes. I also would like to set it so it's read-only so in code only queries can run against this manager. How do I achieve this?
