Thanks Jeff!
A couple of followup questions, if I may...
1. So task names were passed as parameters, right?
2. The inner classes actually belong to the domain servlet, yes?
3. Are you using reflection to instantiate/invoke the inner classes, or just
a big case stmt?
Thanks for the explanation,
Christian
