We don't have beans, we have a simple hash map. It is supposed to be quick, so we don't to type conversions at runtime, except for Integer.intValue() and such. If you use getIntParameter(name) and the value is not an Integer, there will be an exception. No lazy parsing of String to int. cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
