To us, it's just an Object. All we know about it is that it implements hashCode() and equals(), so that's all we can use. I think you are mixing up code generated by the persistence manager (which does know your classes) with the code of the container itself which has no idea what objects it is dealing with. -- C�dric ==========================================================================To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
