Livecycle/Dataservices 2.6.1 [Transient] property

Question

Hi Guys and Girls
I am using livecyle 2.6.1 with AIR 2.0.2 and a java backend, with the flex 3.4 SDK.
I have a managed collection with a property that has a [Transient]  variable set which is used as a flag for products that have been  ordered.This variable is only used locally.
This collection/dataservice connection has been set to autoSync enabled, however when I change this flag the collection is updated to the server, is there a way to have this changed to not update to the collection to the server when this flag is set.
I thought (wrongly apparently) having a property denoted as [Transient] was to avoid this default behaviour.
        [Transient]
        public var isOrdered:Boolean=false;  
Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Jasen

Dustin,
Without the ColdFusion based data management destination defined on the LCDS server, the destination will not show up in the RMI registry.  It is only the CF adapter code that does this.  The 'stock' LCDS adapter does not support invoking via RMI the way the CF version does.
I would recommend you run the LCDS MessageBrokerServlet inside the ColdFusion web application.  This will give you two things:
1. You will not have the overhead of RMI between CF and LCDS as they will share the same VM (better performance!).
2. You will be able to use the CF Data Management Gateway to pass messages to Java-based destinations.  The APIs the gateway uses should work fine with either CF or Java based Data Management destinations.
The CF/LCDS integration doesn't support what you are trying to do when you run two seperate instances.
