For most cases, you either alias or exclude one or the other of the offending methods from the final class, rendering the ambiguity moot. However, role conflict not disambiguiated in either of the above manners throws an exception (presumably with a list of the ambiguous methods), letting you write code to disambiguate in whatever manner you like on a case-by-case basis. The only question I have about such an exception is what sort of information your ambiguity handler code receives. ===== Jonathan "Dataweaver" Lang __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
