Here's my take. The determiniation of the class that is used is not done until runtime. Therefor it's not linked full stop. The compilation of the object just nominates a symbol the implementation of that symbol is left until runtime. For example I don't know when I compile my class if String I don't know if Sun implementation, the IBM implementation or the GNU classpath implementation is going to be used at runtime. -k. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
