i've just committed code that stamps IDs on elements and then uses IDREFs to solve the cyclic reference problem. it's been delayed since it took me a while to find a good way to implement it.
i should probably say something about the changes to org.apache.commons.betwixt.io.BeanWriter since they are quite extensive. i' ve tried to separate the actual writing from the logic concerning processing the descriptors . the writing code should now live in small expressXXX methods and some duplication has been reduced. it's hard to write good unit test code for betwixt and so i may have introduced new bugs. any bug reports will be gratefully received. - robert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
