auto-fields-service question related to tutorial

[Patrick-4]

I'm on step 2 of this tutorial.
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Tutorial+-+A+Beginners+Development+Guide
.  I'm expecting to see the image,
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/6553969/Personform1.png,
 with a list of 3 person related fields and an update and delete
button, specifically  [First Name] [Middle Name] [Last Name] [Update]
[Delete]

My code is retrieving every field, eg. [Birth Date] [Member ID] etc.
I would like to restrict the retrieved fields to just First, Middle
and Last Name and ignore all the other fields.  I think the line
that's doing it is this.

<auto-fields-service service-name="updatePracticePerson"
default-field-type="edit" map-name="person"/>

How can I limit the number of fields that <auto-fields-service is
pulling?  Thanks
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

     There are two ways of doing this:
1) Don't use <auto-field-service> tag and explicitly specify the fields you
want to include in your form.
2) Limit the input attributes in "updatePracticePerson" service.

You can also use the
<field name="birthDate"><ignored/></field>
format to remove auto fields from the form.
