Hmmm... It looks like the modifications to scalar_value did not take into account user-defined types. I've added a correction so that user-defined types will use setitem to set the scalar value into the array. Presumably your setitem function can handle setting the array with scalars of your new type? I've checked the changes into SVN. -Travis ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
