Yeah you are probably right, my suggestion seems to come from a different avenue than the others here. It's probably because personally I've never used library method to do such simple null checks; it might have fixed a few bugs for me along the road, but I just prefer to check such things locally than add in the overhead of a method call. -- Andrew :-) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
