That sounds excellent. Always looking for more help. > I think interest in JSF will explode at some point this year. Well, we'll see...

Well, we're not setting out to create a full featured IoC container, just like we're not creating an O/R tool, etc... The Xwork IoC is really nice for simple things and makes them VERY simple and easy. When you need to, it's not hard to move up to another IoC container with more features. This is especially true of Spring, since it uses JavaBeans style getters and setters like the Xwork enabler Interfaces. > > P.S.
