Thanks for the replies - I do prefer the method outlined by Ruud from a readability viewpoint.
Michiel, just to give you a viewpoint from an outsider developer's point of view - of the 400 hours I put in last month (not joking), about 40 were spent on mmbase, writing servlets - very unfamiliar territory with a fair number of re-attempts. 2am, tired, stretched to the limit, suddenly there is something out of the ordinary and I panic, wondering whether mmbase will cope - all the initial study having left my fairly porous memory long ago and having only done the basics and looked at examples that do the basics, we end up here - something rather trivial for you. So, apologies for trivial questions, but your answers are a lifesaver and greatly appreciated.
