i've used JDO for the last couple of years at work which is probably why i learned to like enhancement ;) but i suspect that i've failed to explain myself well (no surprise there, then ;). i think that the future is a minimal specification with various toolkits and implementations which address various specific problems. dynamic manipulation might be solution for some frameworks with custom classloaders. enhancement could be used to address hostile classloader environments static compile-time binding could be used when that's easiest. JCL works ok in pure servlet environments and dynamic binding has some advantages in those situations. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
