Hi Karl, Thanks a ton for a quick reply.
I've gone through the first chapter of your book and I am planning to buy a book soon(as soon as I can arrange for the required money :) ). I request you, if you can help me with getting sequence diagram/flow chart for the example connector/pre-build connector using manifoldcf. I tried google it but I didn't find anything. Thanks a lot.
